What is recorded here

Situated on a N-facing slope in pasture overlooking the sea. Raised circular area (diam. 22m) enclosed by a badly eroded bank of earth and stone ((Wth. 0.6m; int. H 1m). There are traces of an external fosse on the N side. The enclosing elements have been incorporated into the field boundary from WNW-NW-NNW. The monument is divided into two unequal portions by a NE-SW field boundary. Only the outline of the circuit of the much smaller portion, NE of this, is now identifiable. Original entrance not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 08 March 2013
