What is recorded here

In low-lying pasture. Not marked on the 1837 or 1883 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. A raised oval area (c. 60m N-S; c. 50m E-W) enclosed from SSW-W-N by a substantial bank of earth and stone (Wth 4m; H 0.8m). From N-E-SSE the defining element is a low scarp (H 0.3m). Elsewhere the perimeter is truncated by an ENE-WSW field boundary. There is no trace of a fosse and the original entrance is not recognisable. A low, curvilinear bank defines the SE quadrant of the interior. According to local information, the enclosure was believed to be a burial ground (LF025-005002-).Compiled by: Patrick F.

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