What is recorded here

Situated on a slight N-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Raised circular area (diam. c.25m) enclosed by a broad bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.15m; int. H 0.4m). At the external foot of the bank is a broad flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 4m) and a low external bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.3m; int. H 0.6m). The external bank has been added to in modern times with dumps of field clearance earth and stone NE-SW. From SW-NW the external bank has been incorporated into a SSW-ENE orientated field boundary bank and has been removed NW-N. A break (Wth 2.4m) in the internal bank with a causeway across the fosse at E marks the position of the original entrance. The corresponding entrance break in the external bank has been infilled with field clearance material. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011
