What is recorded here

In pasture, located on top of a ridge. There is a stream 230m to SW. Slightly raised circular area (29m N-S; 30.7m E-W) defined by a low, sod-covered stone bank. A basal course of large stones and boulders can be seen on the external face at SE−SSW, and in parts at N. The interior is level. A Man-made underground passage (MA072-009002) is indicated in the W half on the 1930 OS 6-inch map; it is evident as a series of surface depressions extending through the interior. Two field walls cross the interior, intersecting in a T-shaped arrangement: one on a sinuous NE-SW line to E of centre, the other perpendicular to the latter, extending through the NW quadrant. The perimeter on the NW arc is obscured by gorse. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 17 February 2021
