What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Newengland stands on the valley floor beside a stream, a circular platform wide enough for a dozen people to walk around inside its banks. The entrance faces east, as if inviting daylight in before the rest of the world noticed. The waterlogged pasture and overgrown centre suggest it has been abandoned long enough to become strange again, the kind of place where human urgency cools into legend.

On the floor of a small N-S valley a few metres W of a stream bed, in waterlogged pasture. There are fairly good views within the small valley. A circular, raised platform (int. diam. c. 37m) enclosed by an inner bank (int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.5m; Wth 2m), a fosse (Wth 3m), middle bank (int. H 1.2m; ext. H 0.8m; Wth 2m), berm (Wth 5m), outer bank (int. H 0.35m; ext. H 1.2m; Wth 1.5-2m). There is an entrance (Wth 5m) in the E quadrant which appears to be original. There is a gap (Wth 2m) in the S quadrant but it is only through the two outermost banks and it is staggered. The interior is heavily overgrown.
