What is recorded here

Situated on gentle SW-facing slope, in low-lying pasture. Ringfort (WM026-063----) lies c. 160m to WSW. Depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as a subcircular-shaped earthwork in a coppice of trees. Monument described in 1971 as a subcircular-shaped area (dims. 30.2m N-S; approx. 29m E-W) enclosed by a bank and external fosse. The bank is high and steep on the exterior and is almost reduced to a scarp. A large portion of the bank has been removed at W leaving a concave indent and there is a small quarry hole in the exterior at E. A modern field fence running NNE-SSW extends outside the base of the bank from NE-E-SE. There is a very wide gap in the bank at SE where the fosse is obscured by vegetation. The fosse is wide and shallow. A house site (WM026-064001-) is visible in the N quadrant. Levelled monument visible today as a cropmark on Digital Globe aerial photography. See attached profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien. Date of upload: 02 October 2019

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.
