What is recorded here
Situated on the top of a prominent natural rise in gently undulating grassland, with good views in all directions. Depicted on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map as an oval-shaped enclosure (approx. diam. 40m) with a field bank on the N and trees on the perimeter, annotated as ‘fort’. The curving field fence from N-E-S follows the line of the perimeter of the ringfort, elsewhere the enclosing element has been levelled to a slight scarp. There are traces of a slight fosse visible at N. The interior slopes slightly from W-E. Not depicted as an antiquity on any edition of the OS 6-inch map.
