An irregularly shaped area (max. dim. 17.1m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 2.9m; H 0.2m) from ESE-S-W and elsewhere by modern field boundaries. There is no trace of a fosse and the original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 23 January 2012

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
