What is recorded here

In improved pasture, on a W-facing slope. Enclosure is partially visible on an aerial photograph (G.S.I. 16-4-1974 R.438/7). A semi-circular area (dims. 23m N-S straight side; 11.5m E-W) defined by scarp (Wth 2-3.2m; H 0.25-0.37m). The monument is possibly truncated by a former field boundary, reduced to scar (long axis N-S) to the E. There is no trace at ground level of the monument extending to the E and it may have been further truncated by another field boundary (long-axis E-W) extending to E. However, on the Ordnance Survey ortho image the eastern half of the monument is visible as a cropmark (overall diam. 34m). The interior is grass covered. Enclosures (TS059-093001- and TS059-093002-) are c. 34m to W and c. 60m to E. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 20 October 2015

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.
