What is recorded here
Conifers and centuries have erased the barrow, leaving only a smooth hilltop and a standing stone 120m to the south-southwest. What remains is a absent circle, large enough to have held a life and deep enough to have kept one. The land has not forgotten the shape; it has stopped displaying it.
'Prominently sited on a now conifer-forested hilltop c. 120m to NNE of a standing stone. Described as being 'In the Long Stone Field on Mr. Leonard's farm ... a small rath, much demolished on the south-east side; it has one encircling parapet, with the fosse, strange to say, inside, moat fashion.' (Fitzgerald 1906, 465). In 1955, it was described as having a fosse with a low, broad external bank (diam. c. 32m), (SMR file). The monument is no longer visible at ground level but was probably a ringbarrow.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
