What is recorded here

Monument surveyed by ASI in 1976 and described as following; 'A small roughly circular low embankment of earth and stone. There are traces of a low bank of earth and stone along its upper edge. This bank is very faint and is best preserved on the N and is virtually absent on the E edge of the embankment which is defaced in a number of places by animal tracks but there is no indication of an original entrance. The interior (diam. 27m N-S; 29m E-W) is rather uneven and there is a small rock outcrop to the S of the centre. Other stones are visible just on the surface in the N half of the interior. No internal features are visible. The edge of the embankment is overgrown with trees on the N, E and W. The site is on low ground in good pasture. There is a good view of L. Ennell to the N but the site is overlooked by a high ridge to the S’ (SMR File 17/08/1976). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 14 February 2013
