What is recorded here

Fairy forts are not called forts because they defend against soldiers. They are called forts because they refuse entry, redirect desire and preserve the discipline of the hidden world. The chamber is a fort in that older sense: a boundary where human thinking must stop resisting and begin remembering.

On a slight rise on the undulating floor of an E-W valley. Listed as 'Enclosure' in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). A subcircular overgrown area (int. dims. 40.9m E-W; 46.1m N-S) defined by an overgrown stone spread (Wth 6.5-7m; int. H 0.4-0.9m; ext. H 0.5-1.2m) with occasional facing stones visible (Wth 1.5m at ENE). The perimeter is overlain by a drystone field wall NW-N and field spoil obscures the outer edge of the stone spread NW-SE. The original entrance cannot be identified, and the interior is overlain by curved field walls at E and W. There is a hut-site (int. diam. 5.55m E-W; 5.5m N-S) defined by a double-faced wall (Wth 1.2m at E) and spill (Wth 2.4-3.2m) in the N interior, but its entrance is not visible.
