What is recorded here

Located in an area of rolling average pasture dotted with drumlin-like knolls and hummocks, with good views generally, especially SE–SW. Situated on top of a natural rise. Field boundaries to E and SE shown on the 1922 OS 6-inch map were removed during land reclamation to create one large open field. This monument is shown on the 1838 and 1922 OS 6-inch maps as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m). A slightly domed raised area can be discerned at this location, largely engulfed in gorse. It was not possible to trace the original form and size of the enclosure which appears to have been damaged during land reclamation. This is one monument in a cluster which includes: a wedge tomb (MA015-044007-) located immediately to NW; an enclosure (MA015-044003-) c. 30m to NE, and another (MA015-044001-) c. 100m to WSW; two possible barrows (MA015-044005-; MA015-044006-) c. 30m to SW; and a rath (MA015-044004-) c. 100m to SE.
