What is recorded here

Situated on the highest point of a steep-sided ridge in pasture. Recorded by a fieldworker in 1991 as an originally circular or oval area (max. dim. c.24m) enclosed by a stone wall. Much of the W, N and centre of the site have been quarried away. For the remainder of the circuit most of the stone has been removed from the wall leaving only the foundation course (Wth. 2.7m). No fosse. Original entrance not recognisable (SMR file). Access to the monument was denied to a fieldworker who attempted to visit the monument in 2003. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
