What is recorded here

In low-lying pasture. A report in 1975 (SMR file) indicates that this raised circular area (diam. 28.4m) was enclosed by a wide, low bank of earth and stone, an external fosse and an outer bank. The original entrance may have been at E. It has since been levelled. However, the inner bank (Wth c. 9m; H 0.9m) and the outline of the fosse (Wth c. 5.5m) are still identifiable. There are no visible traces of the outer bank. 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.
