At the base of the scarp is a fosse (Wth 2.7m) and an external bank of earth (Wth 3.1m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.35m). The external bank has been almost entirely removed NE-SE where it is barely visible. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011
A Neolithic ring-barrow, c. 2500–2000 BCE, representing an early form of burial monument associated with collective or elite interment. Its construction with a fosse and scarp indicates ritual significance and social organisation in the Neolithic community.
