What is recorded here

One of a complex of 12 monuments (LI032-073001-/013-). Listed by O'Kelly as monument No. 3 and described in 1943 as following; 'This is a very slightly elevated rectangular platform surrounded by a continuous fosse, and is one of the Type A structures. It measures 70' [21m] north-south by 40' [12m], and the platform is barely 1' [0.3m] high. From the south-west corner of the fosse a straight shallow trench runs in a southerly direction and connects into the fosse of monument No. 4. All these monuments, except Nos. 1 to 5 inclusive, are situated in a low-land marsh. Nos. 1, 2, 3, 10, 11 and 12 are not marked on the OS Maps' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 181-2). The outline of the monument is not visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs.
