What is recorded here

In wet, low-lying pasture. A report in 1977 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. 19.2m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone with an external fosse. A break in the bank with an accompanying causeway at NE may have marked the original entrance. It has since been levelled. A curving field boundary mirrors its circuit from SE-S-NW. Elsewhere a low rise indicates its outline. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
