On a gentle ENE-facing slope. D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 39m ENE-WSW; 37.5m NNW-SSE) defined by a low earthen bank (at ENE: Wth 5.5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.6m), with slight traces of an outer fosse (Wth of base 2.4m; D 0.3m) SW-W. The straight bank (Wth 4.4m; int. H 1.35m; ext. H 0.55m) which may be original is at SW. The perimeter is truncated by a NE-SW field wall at NW and the monument is bisected by the remains of a NW-SE field wall. There is an entrance (Wth 1.3m) at SE, and the interior has NE-SW lazy-beds. Souterrain (RO047-084----) is located c. 100m to the ESE. See the attached aerial view taken from the NNW. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
