What is recorded here
Situated on a steep natural rise, in gently undulating pasture, having good views in all directions. Depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as a large, roughly circular-shaped earthwork (approx. diam. 54m). Monument described in 1970 as a large, roughly circular-shaped area enclosed by a bank and external fosse. The bank is best preserved from NNE-NE-E and elsewhere it is almost reduced to a scarp with several modern gaps. The slight fosse is visible from NW-NNE and from S-W. The interior rises gently towards centre where there is a bullaun stone (WM020-102001-). Levelled monument is not visible today on Digital Globe aerial photography.
