Described a s 'Fort' on an undated estate map in NLI (MS. 21.F.44 (no. 48)), but not marked on any other map. It is situated on a low-lying level landscape at the S edge of a bog. It is a D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 25m NW-SE; c. 21m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (at NW: Wth 3.2m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.3m) and outer fosse (at NW: Wth of base 2m; max. D 0.1m) W-NE, and an earthen bank (at SE: Wth 3.4m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.4m) E-S. The perimeter is truncated by the NW-SE Termon River at SW (L 12.5m), and a NNW-SSE field drain at NE. There are entrances in the bank at NW (Wth 2.6m) and SE (Wth 2m).
