What is recorded here

In pasture, on gentle E-facing slope. Monument, depicted on 1923 OS 6-inch map as circular enclosure, has been levelled. However, but is still evident as sub-circular area (26m N-S; 28m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.15m) NNE->SE and defined by slight scarped edge (H 0.1m) SW->NNW. Interior, under pasture, slopes down very gently to E. Field boundary, depicted on 1923 map crossing site on N-S axis, has been removed. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011

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.
