What is recorded here

On a low rise in pasture. A raised circular area (33m E-W; 30.5m N-S) enclosed from NW-N-SSE by a wide low bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.7-7.2m; H 0.6-0.75m) and elsewhere defined by a scarp (H 1.4-2.1m). There is no trace of a fosse. A report in 1990 (SMR file) suggested that the original entrance was probably at S. 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.
