What is recorded here

On a SW-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 47m) enclosed by a substantial, although much-eroded, bank of earth and stone (Wth 6.4-7.2m; H 0.5-1.9m) with a shallow external fosse (Wth 5.5m; D 0.2-0.7m). The fosse has been infilled from S-W-WNW and its outline is marked by a low berm. The SE quadrant has been destroyed due to the construction of a silage pit. 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.
