What is recorded here

Mortars and concrete smothered the fort, yet the bank still stands beneath new walls and tarmac. The fairies never left; they simply stopped being visible to the people building above them. Sluggary grew around the hole instead of filling it, trapping ancient life inside a modern neighborhood. What was buried did not die, but wait for the concrete to crack and admit air again.

Situated in the green area of a recently-built housing estate. A sub-circular area (diam. 37m N-S by 0.30m E-W) is enclosed by an earthen bank (int. H. 0.45m; ext. H. 1.2m Wth1.5m). The bank is best preserved from ESE to SSW and from WSW to NNE. The exterior of the bank has been encroached on by a wall in the SW and by tarmac from ENE to ESE. Shrubs have been planted in various locations on the bank and a broadleaf tree has recently been planted in the interior. A layer of geotextile runs along the top of the bank through which shrubs grow as well as some grass. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 27 March 2013
