What is recorded here

Earthwork described in 1943 as following; 'None of this monument now remains. Its site is marked only by a circle of differently coloured vegetation to that of the surroundings. This circle presumably marks the fosse of the monument. From a description supplied by a man who had seen the structure, it seems to have been a platform of Type A. Its overall diameter is 120' [37m]. It is situated in low-land marsh' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 182). The outline of the monument is not visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs.
