What is recorded here

In pasture, on a NW-facing slope with views to SE-NE. Circular area (19m N-S; 18m E-W) defined by scarped edge (Wth 6.7m; H 1.2m) with barely perceptible external fosse (Wth 10.2m; D 0.05m) and possible outer bank (Wth 6.8m; int. H 0.05m; ext. H 0.35m) NW-SE and WSW-W. Outer bank possibly levelled into fosse around E-arc. Monument raised slightly on NW-side to compensate for hill-slope. Field boundary depicted on current edition OS 6-inch map truncating SE-sector of monument has been removed. Monument has been incorporated into pasture field.

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.
