What is recorded here
No trace remains on the ground, though the 1840 map drew a forty-five-metre circle on the south-facing slope beside the disused railway. The earth swallowed the fort before anyone stopped looking for it, leaving only a gap in later charts and a quiet pasture where the boundary once stood. What the ring enclosed has vanished so completely that even the soil refuses to remember its shape.
In pasture on slight S-facing slope, moderate views in all directions, to the immediate W of disused railway. No surface remains visible. Depicted on the 1840 OS 6-inch map as a large sub-circular shaped enclosure (approx. diam. 45m) and not marked on subsequent editions. No trace of monument on Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2011-13 and Google Earth aerial imagery.
