What is recorded here

No human memory reaches the fort, but the earth still holds its shape. A thirty-five metre circle of bank and ditch circles a grassy hummock, waiting for hands to touch what time has smoothed. The fairies may have built it, or forgotten people may have lived there before memory began. Either way, the fort remains a chamber for wonder, not a lesson in history.

On a hummock in grassland. Poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 35m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is visible from NW to NNE and from SSE to SW. A degraded scarp forms the enclosing element from NNE through E to S and no visible surface trace survives from SW to NW where it is overlain by a later field bank. The fosse survives from NW to NNE and from SE to SW. It is obscured by overgrowth from SSE to NW. The outer bank only survives NW to NNE.
