Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Marked only on the 1915 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (ext. diam. c. 45m), and situated on a gentle N-facing slope of a low NW-SE ridge. An arc of double facing-stones from an earthen bank (Wth 1.4m; H 0.2-0.5m) survives S-W (C c. 20m) in a coniferous forest from what is probably a rath. Rath (RO029-034----) is c. 150m to the SSE.
