What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Monavaha: a 29-metre earthen ring on a south-facing limestone slope, cut by a shallow fosse and damaged where stone was taken. It still stands in pasture above a river valley, partly scarp, partly memory, the kind of place people named for what they refused to explain.

In pasture, on S-facing slope with terrain dipping sharply down to E into river valley, in area of outcropping limestone. Roughly circular area (27.1m N-S; 29m E-W) enclosed by earth-and-stone bank, with external fosse (Wth 2.4m; D 0.25m) N->ESE. Bank (int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.4m), best preserved W->N, lowers and becomes scarp-like at S. Bank and verge of interior have been quarried out at ENE (6.7m x 2.6m), with heap of earth and stones dumped on top of bank at NE. Interior, under rough grazing, slopes down to SE. Field boundary runs tangentially to bank along NW arc. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
