Description
Kemeys Folly (Nprn23101) is set athwart the NW bank of a sub-rectangular enclosure, c.110m NW-SE by 70m. On the SW are two further sub-rectangular enclosures, c.140m NW-SE by 90m overall, defined by three parallel banks n the SW.
The area of the enclosures slopes down from the NW, where they rest on steep natural slopes, to the SE. An embanked ring, c.24m in diameter, adjacent to the W angle of the first enclosure, has been levelled.

Possibly associated with the Folly tower, although the unclassified earthwork complex, 0.5km to the SW along the ridge (Nprn307891) may also be associated in some way.
