What is recorded here
Tomdeely South once held a forty-metre stone ring, now erased from the level pasture. The fairies kept that circle before people forgot it, and the land still remembers the shape even when the stones no longer show. What was built there may have been a home, a boundary, or a trap for greed. The absence does not mean the place is empty; it means the circle stopped answering ordinary sight.
In level pasture. Monument, depicted as circular enclosure (diam c. 40m) on 1923 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled. No trace of monument evident when inspected. According to local information enclosing element was a dry-stone wall.
