What is recorded here

In level pasture. Monument, depicted on 1924 OS 6-inch map as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m), has been levelled. No trace of monument evident when inspected. According to local information half of enclosure levelled in 1947 and remainder in 1998. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
