What is recorded here

A little below the summit of the E side of Deen river valley, with land rising to the W and slightly to the S and dropping fairly steeply to the N and E, in rolling grassland. There are fairly good views across and along Deen valley. Indicated as a circular enclosure (dims. c. 33m N-S; c. 30m E-W) on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map and on the 1947 revision. By 1987 the monument, probably a ringfort, had been levelled and was not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 13 November 2018
