What is recorded here

Monument described by O'Kelly (1942-3, 233) as following; 'This consists of a circular platform of earth. There is no bank at its edge. It is surrounded by a fosse which is water-logged. The entrance is on the north-east side where there is a causeway leading on to the platform. Immediately to the south-west and just outside the fosse is a small pond fed from an underground spring. The platform is 4' [1.2m] high over the fosse-bottom and the overall diameter is 165' [50m]. It is situated in wet low-land'.
