What is recorded here

In wet, low-lying pasture. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded that this ring-barrow was defined by two low banks of earth and stone with an intervening fosse. It comprises a raised, roughly circular area (diam. at base 15.5m) defined by a low scarp (H 0.4m), which is enclosed by a shallow fosse (Wth 2.5-3m; D 0.2m). No trace of the outer bank is visible at ground level and the original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
