Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Situated on slight NE-facing slope in pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 24m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.5m; int. H 0.4m) with an external fosse (Wth 3m). The bank encloses the site on all sides and is eroded in most areas as a result of livestock traffic and modern field clearance activity. The original entrance to the site is not recognisable. The fosse is visible as a darker band of grass NE-SE with no visible trace elsewhere. A small modern quarry consisting of a circular depression (diam. 8m; D 0.35m) is situated on the SW side of the interior against the inner face of the bank.
