What is recorded here
Earthwork complex described in 1943 as following; 'Complex of 2 Earthworks of Type A and 3 Ring-barrows. The third barrow is in the northern part of the same field. This is a very low mound surrounded by a fosse and outer bank. Both bank and fosse were originally continuous, but the bank is now broken on the north side where a modern fence has been built. Its overall diameter is 36' [11m]. All five monuments are in a lowland marshy meadow' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 172). Outline of monument barely visible today on Digital Globe aerial photograph.
