What is recorded here

Slightly above the floor of a small N-S valley, on the W side, in waterlogged pasture. There are fair-good views along and within the valley. A circular area (diam. 23m) enclosed by a bank (int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1m; Wth 2m) and waterlogged external fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.5m). The bank in the NE sector has been removed, elsewhere the bank has been straightened, giving the monument a slightly sub-rectangular form. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 25 March 2020

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
