Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

That is the name recorded for the place. The facts above contain no further detail about the story you asked me to tell.
On the E side of the highest point of a narrow flat-topped ridge between two small N-S valleys, in reclaimed grassland. There are very good views in all directions. The monument is heavily overgrown. A roughly circular area (diam. 42m) enclosed by a flat-topped bank (int. H 1.8m; ext. H 3m; Wth at crest 2m; overall Wth 4.5m), external flat-bottomed steep-sided fosse (Wth 3m; D 2m) and counterscarp bank (ext. H 0.5m; Wth 1.5m). There is a causewayed entrance (Wth 3.5m) through both banks in the E quadrant. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 25 March 2020
