OS 6-inch map as a large oval-shaped earthwork and annotated on the OS Fair Plan map as ‘the shoemaker’s fort’. No depicted on subsequent editions of the OS 6-inch maps.

  Description

  Situated on a slight rise, in gently undulating pasture, overlooked by higher ground adjacent to SW and W, but with good views in other directions. Depicted on the 1837 ed.

A very shallow fosse and a possible outer bank of earth and stone are present from SE-S-SSW. The outer bank is low and may represent a later field fence. The interior has a slight SE-facing slope with some stones protruding above the surface. Monument is visible today as a roughly circular-shaped earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photography.

The intervening fosse is wide and deep extending from S-W-N-E. A berm-like space is located between the outer edge of the fosse and an outer bank of earth and stone.
