Enclosure described in 1943 as following; 'A fort similar to the last two [LI022-139-/136-], i.e., a platform with a bank at its edge, the whole surrounded by a fosse. The entrance is on the W. side, where an opening in the bank leads on to a causeway across the fosse. The maximum height of the bank over the fosse-bottom is 8' [2.4m], and the overall diameter is 150' [47m]. It has a slightly higher situation than the last monument [LI022-136----] described and is distant from it by approximately 100 yds. [90m]. Both are densely overgrown' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 223). Outline of monument is visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 28 February 2020
