What is recorded here

Enclosure described in 1943 as following; 'This monument consists of a circular mound with a slightly hollow centre. It is probable that this platform had a bank around its edge. There is no fosse and the entrance is not recognisable. The greatest height of the mound is 5' [1.5m] and its overall diameter is 100' [30m]. It is situated in good low-land. A modern fence has cut into it on the south-west side' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 179). The outline of the monument is visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs.
