(NS 0966 5479) Ancient Earthwork (NAT)
OS 6" map, (1957)
This is a natural feature.
Information contained in letter from D N Marshall to OS, 29 September 1963.
A natural grass-covered hillock with no trace of any artificial work about it.
Visited by OS (B S) 23 November 1976.
There is no sign of a fort at the point indicated, and it seem to be fictitious since the knoll has never been under cultivation.
Information from K A Steer, 16 July 1975
There is no evidence that a ‘fort’ ever existed at the position indicated on the 2nd edition of the Ordnance Survey 6-inch map (Buteshire 1896, sheet CCXV). The site comprises a low, natural knoll, the summit of which appears never to have been cultivated. However, the E and S flanks of the knoll have at one time been part of a field-system comprising rig and furrow, extensive remains of which are still visible in the vicinity (NS05SE 42).
Visited by RCAHMS (AGCH) 30 March 2009.
