What is recorded here

Half a ring, half a memory, the fort leans into the slope like a chair pulled up to a table. Its scarped edge still holds the shape of a room though the north wall has surrendered to rain and time. From the eastern gap the land opens westward, inviting entry or escape depending on which way you face. The missing quarter does not weaken the place; it completes it, leaving room for the part no survey can measure.

On slight SE-facing slope, in pasture, with excellent views from S-W-WNW and restricted elsewhere. Depicted on the 1897 OS 25-inch map as a semi-circular shaped area defined by a field boundary to WSW. Monument surveyed by the ASI in 1999 and described as a subcircular-shaped area (24m N-S; 18m E-W) defined by a scarp (Wth 1.7m; H 0.7m) that has been eroded at N with possible entrance ramp (Wth 2.4m) at E. The interior is level and a disused earth and stone field boundary runs NNW-SSE across the W sector. Monument is visible as a subciruclar-shaped, partially tree-lined enclosure on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-13 and on Google Earth orthoimages taken 18/11/2018.
