What is recorded here

On a hilltop in improved pasture, with moderately steep slopes on all sides. Shown on the latest ed. (1939) of the OS 6-inch map as a raised circular area (est. diam. c. 25m) with a Trigonometrical station (OD 419 feet) on the NE sector, and a depression or possible quarry pit on the site limits NW-NE. The Trigonometrical station is no longer extant, and an ESB pole stands on or close to its former location. The depression has been infilled, and there is no visible surface trace of a mound.
