What is recorded here

Situated in pasture, c. 50m NE of a farmyard. Annotated 'Fort' on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map and depicted as a D-shaped earthwork (approx. dims. 40m NE-SW; 33m NW-SE) with the straight side formed by a field fence to S. On this map an old road or lane is showing running onto the W side of the earthwork which may have served as a haggard for the nearby farmhouse. Monument described in 1981 as a much damaged ringfort visible as a raised semi-circular shaped area (dims. 15m E-W; 11m N-S) which is cut by a field fence to S. The interior is enclosed by the remains of a much denuded bank with traces of an external fosse, which are best preserved at N. There are a number of boulders on the surface of the interior suggesting that there is rock outcrop below the ground surface. Monument is not visible on Digital Globe aerial photography.
