What is recorded here

Earthwork described in 1943 as following; 'The monument consists of a circular platform of earth surrounded by a continuous and waterlogged fosse. Outside this there was an outer bank most of which is now gone except for a short distance on the south-east side. The entrance is not recognisable. The maximum height of the platform over the fosse-bottom is 4' [1.2m], and the overall diameter is 135' [41m]. It is situated in fairly good lowland' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 172). Outline of monument clearly visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 24 February 2020
