What is recorded here

Thirty-five metres of packed earth and forgotten stone circle the rise in Largan, though a modern field wall now cuts through the ancient boundary. The inner bank still wears traces of revetment, proving human hands shaped the circle before grass and time softened its edges. A house sits a hundred metres south and a dark passage lies north, waiting for curiosity. What lives inside the ring now is not written, only suggested by the shape itself: a room built for people, later released to rain, roots and rumor.

On a rise in undulating grassland. Poorly preserved circular rath (D 34.9m) defined by an inner bank, external berm, intervening fosse and outer bank. Traces of stone revetment survive on the inner bank. A field wall cuts the monument at ENE and WSW, to SE of which only a cropmark survives. A possible Man-made underground passage (GA042-170----) lies 180m to NW and a house (GA042-171----) 100m to SSW.
