What is recorded here

On flat summit at E end of an E-W running ridge. Field recently ploughed and planted. Electricity pylon in field c. 30m NE of monument. Monument appears as a roughly circular enclosure on aerial photograph (CUCAP July 1970 BDR 62). Though the enclosure has been levelled it is discernible as a slight circular rise (diam. 30m E-W) with traces of shallow fosse on E side. There is a high field bank immediately W of the enclosure. Field boundary to the N has been removed and appears as a cropmark on the aerial photograph. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
