What is recorded here

Situated on a slight SW-facing slope, in gently undulating pasture. Monument described in 1971 as an oval-shaped area (dims. 25.9m E-W) enclosed by a bank with slight traces of an external fosse. The low bank is almost reduced to a scarp and is slightly defaced in several places where the gravel composition of the bank is visible. There is a large gap at NE and SW and a very wide gap at ESE. The interior has a slight S-facing slope. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien. Date of upload: 13 August 2019
