What is recorded here

On a NE-facing slope in undulating terrain, turlough at base of hill which floods in winter. Field under tillage for many years. Some sileage wraps have been temporary placed on the former enclosure. Monument is indicated on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (dims. c. 32m N-S; c. 37m E-W) with laneway to Woodlands House immediately S and W of the enclosure. It is shown in the same position on the 1901-05 ed. though the shape is more triangular, narrowing to the N and the hachured are facing inward suggesting the monument may have been quarried. There is no visible trace at ground level. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 12 January 2015

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.
