What is recorded here

Forty-six metres of packed earth circle a hollow on the southern slope, marking a place where humans lived before memory faded. Two banks and a ditch still hold their shape against the grass, though age has softened the eastern edge. The fort stands as a witness to forgotten hands, waiting for someone to imagine the lives that turned its soil into home.

On a S-facing slope in grassland. Circular rath (D 46.5m), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. A scarp forms the inner enclosing element from S to SW. The fosse and outer bank survive from SW through W to NW.
