What is recorded here

In farmyard, on break in W-facing slope. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure on 1923 OS 6-inch map, has been engulfed within farmyard complex. A roughly circular area (diam. 28m E-W) can be discerned, defined S->N by scarped edge which appears to be natural break in slope. From NE->E area skirted by artificially raised horse-training paddock, from E->SE a fence defines area, and SE->S it is bordered by a farm shed. Interior area under grass and slopes down to W. It is unclear what if anything of original site survives. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
