Indicated

Situated at the NW edge of a N-S ridge in undulating pasture. Raised circular platform (diam. 50m) defined by a substantial earthen bank (Wth 4.1m at S, 7.7m at N; int. H 0.6m at S, 1.2m at N). The external slope of the bank (ext. H 1.2m at S, 3m at N) is enhanced, especially on the W–N side, by the natural slope of the ridge. At the foot of the bank at NNW–NE is a fosse (Wth 5.5m, 3m at base). The fosse is not evident at E–SE but at WSW–NW, where the external ground level falls away steeply, there is a sloping terrace (Wth. 3.5m). A break (Wth 3m) in the bank at ESE may mark original entrance. The basal portion of a drystone wall (H 0.6m) is visible at the external face of the bank at N. Fragments of animal bones are visible in exposed sections of the bank. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
