What is recorded here

On the River Tar valley floor, the river flows E-W c. 50m N of the ringfort. The ringfort has been levelled but is still visible as a small circular area (diam. 23.6m N-S; c. 23m E-W) defined by a flattened bank (Wth 6.8m; int. H 0.28m; ext. H 0.41m). In the W quadrant the bank is no longer apparent, the entrance may have been in this sector. The field has been reclaimed and is now under grass. A field boundary immediately W of the ringfort curves around to respect the monument. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 02 December 2013
