What is recorded here

Within a plantation of coniferous trees. A report in 1976 (SMR file) indicates that this raised circular area (diam. c. 31m) was enclosed by a substantial bank of earth and stone. It is defined by a scarp (H 1.2m) at the base of which is a narrow, shallow, V-shaped fosse (Wth 1.2m; D 0.1-0.3m). The original entrance is not recognisable. Detailed inspection was impossible due to its overgrown nature. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 17 January 2012
