What is recorded here

Close to the base of a steep NNW-facing hillside in pasture. Not indicated on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A raised circular area (diam. 43.1m) enclosed by a wide low bank of earth and stone (Wth 6.7m; H 0.3-1.3m) with a wide, largely infilled, external fosse (Wth 5.8m; D 0.2m). From E-SE-S the bank and fosse have been modified and incorporated into a field boundary. From NW-N-E the bank has been levelled but its outline and that of the fosse are still identifiable. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior slopes steeply from SSE to NNW. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
