What is recorded here

In improved pasture, on a gentle SSE-facing slope. A ringfort (TS063-038----) in located c. 50m to the NW. The remains of sub-circular area (dims. 44m NNW-SSE; 38m ENE-WSW) are defined by levelled scarp (Wth 1.8m; H 0.15m) and a backfilled fosse (basal Wth 2.75m; overall Wth 5.75m; D 0.1m) in the N quadrant. The bank is possibly incorporated into a field boundary NW-N-NNE. The monument is incorporated into the field as pasture. A field boundary running ENE-WSW from the SW quadrant has been removed. There is an irregular-shaped depression within the interior, off-centre to N, which may have been caused by an uprooted tree. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

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.
