What is recorded here

Mell holds a broken earthen ring where two fosses curve across a south-facing slope. The gap suggests invasion, decay or transformation rather than ordinary abandonment. A complete fort would have stood as a small local boundary, marking territory, resistance or identity.

Located towards the top of a S-facing slope. An arc (int. diam. c. 20m E-W; ext. diam. c. 25m) of two fosses curving SW-N-ENE is visible only on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International during June 2018. It was first reported by Anthony Murphy. See the attached enhanced aerial view from Apple Maps Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 January 2020
