What is recorded here

On a gentle NE-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 34.9m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone that has been modified from S-W-N where it is incorporated into a field boundary. Elsewhere it has been levelled but its outline (Wth 3.4m) is still identifiable. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded slight traces of a shallow external fosse. This has since been infilled and, again, only its outline (Wth 3.2m) is identifiable. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
