- DU015-003001 Ringfort - unclassified
Description
Situated in undulating ground under tillage. An aerial photograph taken in 1966 (CUCAP, AOZ 51) shows cropmark evidence for a single-ditched enclosure, roughly circular in plan (diam. c. 45m). There is another cropmark enclosure (diam. c. 10m ) W of the site (DU015-003002-). Also visible on Bing (viewed 24/01/2014). These are probably ploughed out remains of ringforts. Not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 24 January 2015
- DU015-003002 Ringfort - unclassified
Description

The cropmark of another enclosure lies c. 10m to the west (DU015-003001-). Also visible on Bing (viewed 24/01/2015). Not visible at ground level.

- DU015-004 Ringfort - unclassified
Description
Situated on a low ridge in low-lying arable land. Named 'fort' on the 1837 OS 6-inch map and shown as a univallate circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) with a central feature which may have been a house site. This is probably a levelled ringfort. Located at the apex of ridge in the midst of tillage fields. At time of visit it was recently ploughed and a stony area with occasional large stones was visible. Directly west is Feltrim Hill.
