What is recorded here
No visible castle, no church tower, no grand estate. Only a hidden ring on a gentle slope, large enough to swallow a house and strange enough to belong elsewhere. That gap is why the land still feels alive.
On a gentle SW-facing slope in pastureland. Subcircular rath (56m NE-SW; 52m NW-SE), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse that are heavily overgrown with bracken and bushes. There is a causewayed entrance gap at SE. A modern field boundary cuts through the monument at NE and SW.
