What is recorded here

Earthwork described in 1942-3 as following; 'This consists of a circular platform on the edge of which there is a slight bank. Outside there is a fosse, but this occurs only where it was necessary to cut through little hillocks in the field, so that it appears only on the N.W., N.E. and S.E. sides. The edge and sides of the platform have been broken down in three places. The largest of these breaks is on the N.E. side, and this may have been the entrance. There is no fosse just opposite it. The greatest height of the bank over the field is 6' [1.8m] and the overall diameter is 125' [38m]. Situated in wet lowland' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 239). Cropmark of levelled monument barely visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 6 March 2020
