What is recorded here

On a NE-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 35.9m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 4m; H 0.3-0.9m). Drystone masonry is visible on both faces of the bank. Faint traces of an external fosse (Wth 3.2m; D 0.1m) are evident from E-S-SW. The original entrance is not recognisable. At SSW a NW-SE roadway borders the monument. Compiled by: Patrick F.
