What is recorded here

Situated on a prominent hill affording panoramic views over undulating pastureland, with a broad expanse of bog visible to E-SE. Ground falls away towards a stream located 30m to W. This possible ringfort is named ‘Trean Fort’ on the 1838 OS 6-inch map, and is shown as a circular enclosure (diam. 25-30m), with a road on a roughly NE−SW axis passing through its centre. On the 1929 OS 6-inch edition, it is annotated as ‘Trean Fort (site of)’ and is indicated as a polygonal arrangement of field fences, which flank the E and W sides of the road. When inspected in 1996, these field fences were still intact, enclosing a subcircular area (max. diam. 39.5m NNE-SSW), which probably roughly preserved the outline of the original enclosure. Since that time, the field fences have been leveled. There is no visible trace of the W half of the enclosure in the field to W of the road, and farm buildings now overlie the part of the enclosure which lies to E of the road.
