Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

In improved pasture, at base of an E-facing slope. Remains of circular area (dims. 34m E-W; 32m N-S) defined by levelled bank which is best traced around northern and southern arcs. The enclosure is depicted on the 1st (1840) and 2nd (1952-54) ed. OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular area (diam. c. 35m) defined by a bank and was drawn as such in a sketch plan and sections in 1954 (OS Field Memorandums). In 1982 Cahill (unpublished thesis) described the monument as being in fair condition with one bank and one ditch. Ringfort (TS061-090----) is c. 100m to NW.
