What is recorded here

On top of a low drumlin in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 37.5) enclosed from SSW-W-NNE by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.2m; H 0.6m), which has been modified and incorporated into a field boundary, and elsewhere defined by a scarp (H 0.7-1.4m). A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded a shallow external fosse and noted that the original entrance may have been at E. No visible trace of the fosse survives at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F.

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.
