What is recorded here
Monument, depicted on 1841 OS map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m), has been removed by quarrying. The site is now occupied by a small abandoned limestone quarry (dims. 28m N-S; 30m W-E), cut into the hill-slope. Depth of quarry is c. 4-5m at rear and its edges are mostly covered by briars and thorn bushes. Some limestone rock exposed in places. There are smaller quarried depressions immediately to E and W.
