What is recorded here

On a terrace on a S-facing slope overlooking a stream. A raised oval area (40.5m N-S; 32m E-W) enclosed from WSW-W-NNW by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 4m; H 0.3-0.5m) and by a scarp (H 0.8-1.7m) from NNW-N-NNE, and from SE-S-SW. Elsewhere a natural scarp defines the monument. There is no trace of a fosse. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011

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.
