Burial mound

What is recorded here

Situated at the base of E facing slope of a prominent ridge in grassland with good views to the NW and ESE. Ringfort (WM008-079---) 200m to SW. A sub-circular raised area (approx. diam. 8m WSW-ENE; 6m SSE-NNW) enclosed by a low narrow bank and very slight fosse. The fosse is only visible from SW-W. Classification of monument is very difficult. Originally classified as a motte castle but the low height of the mound would argue against such a classification. The small diameter of the platform and the mound like morphology of the site might suggest some form of barrow or possible burial mound. See attached plan and section of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI. Compiled by: Frank Coyne and Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 24 April 2017
