What is recorded here

On a gentle NE-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 46.2m) enclosed by a much-denuded, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.4m; H 0.35m max.). From NNW-N-ENE the outer face of the bank has been partially destroyed due to the construction of a modern NW-SE field boundary. A report in 1977 (SMR file) recorded an external fosse, which has since been infilled. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior is densely overgrown with vegetation but low heaps of stone, probably field-clearance debris, are distinguishable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
