What is recorded here

In flat wet pasture in undulating countryside with good views in all directions. There is no visible trace at ground level of the enclosure indicated on the OS 6-inch maps, probably the result of levelling. On the 1st (1840) ed. the monument is depicted as a roughly oval area (dims. c. 50m N-S; c. 65m E-W) with an inner and outer enclosing element, with the intervening area shaded. A limekiln is depicted in the NE quadrant, at the edge of the inner enclosing element. On the subsequent 1903 ed. OS 6-inch map it is depicted as a circular enclosure defined by a bank and outer fosse. Described Cahill (1975) as a large circular enclosure defined by a bank and a ditch and was levelled between 1975 and 2001. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 10 June 2015

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