What is recorded here

Situated on a low rise, in the SW corner of a field, used as a vegetable garden at the time of inspection, adjacent to a modern house. Not marked on the 1837 OS 6-inch map; shown on the 1913 edition as a semi-circular hachured area (diam. c. 27m NW–SE; c. 17m NE–SW) curving W–SE, and truncated at W by a field boundary on a NW–SE axis. There is no trace of the enclosure at ground level but the access hole to a drystone-built souterrain (SL017-009002-) remains. This is almost certainly the site of a levelled rath.

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.
