What is recorded here

Knock Hill tilts east toward the light, carrying a thirty-two-metre circular rath on its slope. A low bank and partial fosse still mark the edge, though the land boundary now cuts through the ancient shape. The fort belongs to the living landscape, not a dead display, and its unchanged line suggests people valued the place enough to keep it unbroken.

On E-facing slope of Knock Hill. Circular rath (D 32m), in fair condition, defined by a low bank and external fosse, no visible surface trace of which survives from N to E. The fosse is present from SW through W to N. The td. boundary cuts the monument at ESE and SW. There is a CBG (GA044-071001-) within the interior.
