Fairy fort / ringfort in Lecarrowmactully

On a rise in rolling grassland prone to flooding. Well-preserved circular ringfort (D 30.5m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The internal face of the inner bank is revetted with stone. No visible surface trace of the fosse or outer bank survives from NE to E. A gap (Wth 3.7m) at N could be original.
