What is recorded here

On a low rise in moderately drained pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. The monument was levelled in the 1940s or 1950s (local information). However, a report in 1976 (SMR file) noted that the outline of a bank with an external fosse could still be traced enclosing a circular area (diam. c. 30m). It is visible at ground level.
