Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Gneevebane

In pasture on high ground with extensive views to N and E. Ringfort (WM033-066----) 210m to the E, and second ringfort (WM033-063----) 420m to the NNW. Roughly sub-rectangular-shaped area (dims. 54.8m N-S; 44.7m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank covered with trees and bushes with shallow external fosse. There is no indication of an original entrance feature and there are several gaps in the bank especially at S, all of which appear to be modern. The bank is best preserved from W-N and the fosse is well preserved from N-NE. A large concrete base for a silage pit has been constructed in the W quadrant of the ringfort interior.
