What is recorded here

Situated near W end of level summit of a narrow E-W orientated ridge, in pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 24m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 6.5m; int. H 0.7m). No fosse is visible at ground level. A NNW-SSE orientated field boundary bank lies across the site, to E of centre, truncating the bank at SE and at N. The site has been removed to the E of this boundary but is visible as a slightly raised area defined by a very slight scarped edge (ext. H 0.1m). Either of two breaks in the surviving portion of the bank at NW (Wth 6m) and at S (Wth 4m) could be an original entrance. 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.
