What is recorded here
Indicated is a forgotten ringfort where limestone and stubborn human ambition met. Its dry-stone wall still marks a circular claim across a gentle slope, partially swallowed by bushes and joined to an ordinary field boundary. The site resists easy judgment because so much has been hidden, yet the shape remains clear enough to suggest that people once drew a line around life itself.
In bush-covered area on limestone outcrop, on gentle SE-facing slope. Roughly circular area (diam. c. 30m) enclosed by dry-stone wall (int. H 1.32m; ext. H 1.38m; Wth base 2.4m) incorporated into identical field boundary on E side. Heavily masked by vegetation cover with interior only inaccessible at verges.
