What is recorded here

In pasture, on NNW-facing hill slope. Monument, depicted as circular embanked enclosure (diam. c. 30m) clipped by field boundary at NE on 1923 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled and incorporated into pasture field. However, it is now evident as a circular area (29.8m N-S; 29.7m E-W) defined by scarped edge NW->NNE and E->S. Scarp (H 0.9m; Wth 10m) is best preserved at NW. Curved section of earth-and-stone field boundary overlies enclosing element NNE->E. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
