What is recorded here

On low-lying ground adjacent to a stream. Depicted as a roughly circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. The monument has been largely levelled. Remains comprise a slightly raised subcircular area (c. 35m E-W; c. 30m N-S) defined by a very low scarp (H 0.1-0.35m) from SE-S-W. From W-N-NE it is delimited by the stream and from NE-E-SE the enclosing element has been levelled and replaced by a linear field boundary. The original entrance is not recognisable.
