What is recorded here

Three stone forts described in 1943 as following; 'These three forts [LI032-087-/086-085-] are situated on the highest ridge of a hill which rises to 371' [113m] OD. The forts are in a straight line and close beside one another. The most easterly of the three [LI032-087----], which was in existence at the time of the first O.S. has now completely disappeared as result of quarrying operations'(O'Kelly 1942-3, 171). Only a quarry is visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs where this 'stone fort' was indicated on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map.
