What is recorded here

Fairy forts are the dead places where the living forget they are dead. They are not fantasy, they are memory. The clue is shape. A ring is a ring. A chamber is a chamber. A stand of pines is a boundary marker, not a mistake. When several clues appear together, the fantasy drops away and the place stands clear.

On a gentle SE-facing slope in low-lying pasture, c. 55m to the N of an ENE-WSW flowing stream. A raised circular area (diam. 23.7m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.8m; H 0.3-0.9m) an intervening fosse (Wth 3.2m; D 1m) and an outer substantial bank (Wth 4.35m; H 0.8m); its outer face has been modified and incorporated into a field boundary. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 10 February 2012
