What is recorded here

In level, low-lying pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1827 edition of the OS 6-inch map. A raised circular area (diam. 18.8m) defined by a low scarp (H 0.3m). There is no trace of a fosse and the original entrance is not recognisable. It is divided into roughly equal portions by modern field fences running E-W. The N half has been levelled and is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
