Enclosure

What is recorded here

On a gradual E-facing slope with the Clashawley River running N-S at base of slope in area of densely planted conifers. Monument appears to be levelled. Stone boundary wall depicted on OS 6-inch map as running roughly E-W along the NW sector, possibly truncated the enclosing element. This wall is still standing. On the 2nd ed. OS 6-inch map (1903-04) the monument is depicted as roughly circular in shape (int. diam. c. 40m) enclosed by a bank and outer fosse from the SE-S-SW and from the N-E-SE and in the W the bank appears to be denuded to scarp with traces of outer fosse. There is no visible trace of the monument at ground level. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 11 November 2014

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.
