What is recorded here

Near the top of an SE-facing slope in pasture, with wide views from NE to SW. This heavily damaged subcircular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) is defined by a fosse (Wth c. 1m at base; D 0.3m) and outer bank (Wth 2.6m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.8m), which survive only from SE to SW. Elsewhere the enclosing elements have been truncated, resulting in a jagged steep edge (max. H 1m) at the E, and two spoil heaps at the N. This may be a much-damaged ring-barrow. There is a rath (CL009-010----) c. 145m to the WSW. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 11 July 2022
