What is recorded here

On a SE-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 26.8m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.4m; H 0.65m max.) with a shallow external fosse (Wth 5.1m; D 0.2m). A NNE-SSW field boundary skirts the fosse from NNE-E-SE. Some large boulders are incorporated into the bank but both it and the fosse are much degraded by cattle trampling over the monument. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 16 January 2012
