What is recorded here

On flat ground in upland terrain, under pasture. A large sub-circular enclosure (diam. c. 100m) which has been largely levelled and the NW and W sectors are not visible at ground level. A field boundary running N-S bisected the enclosure. The S quadrant is just visible as a low bank (Wth 2m; H 0.12) while the N quadrant, E of the N-S field boundary, is the best preserved with a scarp (Wth 4.7m; H 0.17m); fosse (Wth 3.9m; D 0.32m); outer bank (Wth 5.9m; H 0.2m) and outer fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.2m). A curving field boundary defines the E and SE quadrant. While a similar field boundary runs E-S along the edge of the S sector, it consists of an earthen bank with a stone revetment with no visible trace of a bank immediately W or N of this boundary, as is depicted on the 2nd (1906) ed. OS 6-inch map. The monument is shown on an aerial photograph (Air Corps V.312/3076-5). 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.
