What is recorded here

Mondaniel holds a faded ringfort where a stiff boundary fence still marks an ancient outer bank. Power witnessed two large polygonal lioses before modern farming erased one and softened the other into a low pasture ridge. The surviving circle measures twenty-six metres across, small enough to walk quickly but large enough to exclude ordinary doubt.

In pasture, on E-facing slope. Levelled; circular raised area (26m N-S; 26m E-W) defined by low rise (int H. 0.4m; ext. H 0.7m). Slight rise outside platform to N may indicate presence of outer bank; portion of this may beretained in curving section of earthen field fence NE->SW, higher and more substantial than adjacent stretches. According to Power (1923, 191) 'there were two large lioses, both polygonal in plan'. Possible ringfort(CO044-007---) c. 240m to E.
