What is recorded here
Clearwood Forest Research Centre. That is the only fact available. The number of chambers, the shape of each chamber and the purpose of the centre are not stated. I will not repeat a claim that cannot be checked.
In generally level area of dense, mixed woodland. Westropp (1914-16, 66) described this monument as a ‘ring-wall…nearly levelled…’. It is depicted as a circular enclosure (diam. 21m) within an area of rough pasture and rock outcrop on the 25-inch OS map and the 1921 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Access not gained during 2017 survey.
