What is recorded here
Lattoon holds two rings, thirty metres across and three hundred metres apart, as if somebody drew a small circle on the grass and then drew it again a stone’s throw further south. The western edge of the first has been cut through by a field bank, so the fortune inside has spilled out and mixed with the ordinary land. The distance between them is the interesting part: close enough to walk in a breath, far enough that one could have been made for a person and the other for a fairy, or one for life and one for the story told about it.
In level grassland Poorly preserved roughly circular rath (D 35m) defined by a low bank. A field bank cuts the monument at W. A ringfort (GA060-134----) lies c. 300m to S.
