What is recorded here

On a gentle E-facing pasture slope. A sub-rectangular area (ext. dims. L 47.9m E-W; Wth 34.3m N-S) is defined by a broad, flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 1.7-3.1m; int. H 0.2m at S-1.1m at E and W; ext. H 0.9-1.3m) faced externally by a modern, mortared stone wall, with entrance gate at NE (Wth 2.6m). An internal path (Wth 2.2-2.8m) skirts the bank and may overlie an older fosse-line and encloses a slightly raised circular, central area (diam. 18-20m) which is defined by a scarp (H 0.5-1.4m). The interior contains a church (KD003-002002-) and a graveyard (KD003-002003-) and the perimeter carries mature chestnut and ash trees. A bullaun stone (KD003-002004-) was noted c. 50m to the NE of the monument in 1985 (SMR file). Visible as being overgrown with trees in a recent aerial photograph (OSi Orthophoto 2005).
