In reclaimed pasture 30m NE of a ringfort (LI040-081----). No surface remains visible of earthwork or platform that was attached to the N side of a possible moated site (LI040-082001-). Westropp (1917-19, 174) described this 'platform ringfort' as; ‘a curious platform fort that consists of two rectangular platforms, in line, north and south, 5 feet [1.5m] to 6 feet [1.8m] high and 66 feet [20m] wide, within a fosse 12 feet [3.6m] wide, now nearly filled; the two divisions had banks round the tops and have a fosse 12 feet [3.6m] wide between. The northern is 70 feet [21m] long and much levelled to the north-west. The southern is 54 feet [16.5m] long. The N platform is only visible as a rectangular-shaped area defined by a fosse oblique aerial photograph taken 20/07/1968 (CUCAP AVT028). Listed by Barry (1981, 84) as a moated site (No. 27).
