What is recorded here

In reclaimed pasture, 125m W of a watercourse that marks the townland boundary with Mountblakeney. Depicted as a circular shaped earthwork on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map. It is shown on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map as a raised roughly circular-shaped area (dims. c. 27m N-S; 30m E-W) defined by a scarp, which forms post 1700 century field boundary from S-W, with fosse and outer bank visible from W-N-NE. A gap in outer bank at NW may be original entrance feature. Outline of monument delimited by bushes is visible on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13 and on Google Earth orthoimages.
