What is recorded here

On a low ridge in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. c. 38m) defined by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.8m; H 0.2-0.3m), except at S where the defining element is a scarp (H 1m), and an external fosse (Wth 2-3m; D 0.4m). A report in 1977 (SMR file) recorded fragmentary remains of a low outer bank, which is no longer identifiable. The original entrance is not recognisable. Within the interior is a circular hollow (diam. 12m; D 0.15m) of unknown significance. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 23 November 2011
