What is recorded here
Enclosure described in 1943 as following; 'This structure has been almost completely levelled, so it is not possible to say to which type it belongs. It seems to have been a simple ring fort, Only one small fragment of the bank remains and this is composed mainly of earth, with a considerable proportion of stones, but these are not used as a facing. The fosse either did not exist or has been completely filled up. The overall diameter is approximately 180' [55m] (O'Kelly 1942-3, 223). Cropmark of levelled monument is visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs.
