What is recorded here

On a gentle S-facing slope. Circular overgrown area (diam. 34m N-S; 32.5m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at N: Wth 4.5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.2m) SW-N, which is reduced to a slight bank (Wth 4-4.5m; int. H 0.1-0.2m; ext. H 2m) E-SW and replaced by a road wall N-E. There is no visible fosse or entrance, but there is a local tradition of a childrens' burial ground (RO008C021002-) (Gannon 1972). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
