What is recorded here

On a low hillock in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 and 1887 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. A raised circular area (diam. c. 44m) enclosed by a much-degraded low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3m; H 0.45m max.) with a shallow external fosse (Wth 3.3m; D 0.2m). The N half has been levelled due to the construction of modern field boundaries but its outline is still identifiable. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F.
