What is recorded here

Earthwork described in 1943 as following; 'This is a circular platform of earth surrounded by a fosse and outer bank. Most of the outer bank is gone except for short distances on the north and south sides. The entrance is not recognisable. The height of the mound over the fosse bottom is 8' [2.4m] and the overall diameter of the monument is 264' [80m]. The structure is situated in a low land marsh meadow on the bank of the River Camogue' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 183). The outline of the monument is clearly visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs.
