What is recorded here

In improved pasture, on a N-facing slope. Oval area (overall dims. 18m NNW-SSE; c. 24m ENE-WSW) defined by scarp (Wth 2-2.5m; H 0.15-0.25m) from S-NNE, which is less pronouced from SE-S and levelled out from NNE-SE, an intervening fosse (Wth 6.9m; D 0.18m) from SE-W-N and the remains of an outer bank (Wth 8.2m; int. H 0.18m; ext. H 0.05m) from SE-W and NW-N, which has been reduced to a levelled scarp (Wth 3.8m; H 0.3m) in the N-ENE. There is a causeway (Wth 3.5m) across the fosse at the NW. The enclosure is transected by a field boundary running NNW-SSE across the ENE sector. A field boundary (long axis E-W) depicted on the 1904 edition OS 6-inch map, truncating the monument at S, has been removed. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 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.
