What is recorded here

In level pasture. Monument, depicted on 1923 OS 6-inch map as circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m), has been levelled. However, it is now evident as slightly raised circular area (diam. c. 36m) defined by scarped edge (H 0.15m; Wth 3.65m) ENE->NW. Shallow external fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.1m) evident S->WNW. Interior flat and covered by lush grass. Field boundary, depicted immediately to E on 1923 OS 6-inch map, 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.
