What is recorded here

On a gentle WSW-facing slope in pasture. A report in 1975 (SMR file) noted that this raised circular area (diam. 33.4m) was enclosed by a bank of earth and stone and an external fosse. The bank (Wth 7.4m) has since been levelled and the defining element is a scarp (H 0.7-1.6m). The fosse (Wth 5.7m) is still visible. An ENE-WSW running field boundary cuts the monument at SSE. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 29 November 2011

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
