Earthwork, Mire Hill (Site).

On the summit of Mire Hill, at a height of 524ft OD, the OS map marks a "fort" consisting of a single scarp which encloses an irregularly shaped area measuring 270ft from E to W by 200ft from N to S. Although this scarp undoubtedly represents the remains of a rampart, the work has been mutilated to such an extent - first by cultivation and later by the felling of a plantation - that it can only be classed as a site, and its date and purpose are uncertain.
