What is recorded here

Situated on a gentle NNE-facing slope overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Depicted on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure. The NNE half of the site has been destroyed by quarrying. The surviving portion of the site comprises a poorly-defined, irregularly-shaped mound of earth and stone (diam. c.25m; max. int. H 0.4m; max ext. H 0.3m) upon which some spoil from the quarry has been deposited. The site is known locally as a 'fort'. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 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.
