What is recorded here
Fairy forts are not for us, and most are empty, but this one is different. It is a place where the boundary thins, where what is hidden becomes visible, and where the rules that shape the world reveal themselves.
On a steep SW-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 33.4m) enclosed by a much-denuded, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.2m; H 0.35m max.). There is no trace of a fosse and the original entrance is not recognisable.
