What is recorded here

At the base of a low SE-facing hill in pasture. Extant remains comprise a raised circular area (diam. 41.1m) defined by a steep scarp (H 0.2-1.9m). A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded an external fosse and a low outer bank, both of which have since been levelled. The NE quadrant has been destroyed due to roadworks. 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.
