Monument record MHG9696 - Fort etc, Havaig

NC86SE 14 8911 6033.

Surmounting a rocky knoll at NC 8911 6033 are remains of a fort. Roughly pear-shaped on plan, it measures about 38m NE-SW by 18m transversely at broader SW end, within a ruinous wall, much of which has tumbled down slope. Although occasional outer facing-stones are visible a true wall thickness cannot be ascertained, but it seems to be about 3m at an entrance through narrow NE end, and at least 5m at another entrance in S arc. Below wall on slope at SW end are several boulders in line which seem to be part of a revetment for this arc where the wall is thickest. Within the fort is a large spread of close-packed debris which may be from wall, but could be collapsed internal structures although no foundations can be seen. Below the knoll, in E, are several stone clearance heaps possibly from a contemporary field system.
