What is recorded here

In improved pasture, on a very gentle E-facing slope. A stream runs c. 5m to E and the area between the monument and the stream is poorly drained. A sub-circular area (dims. c. 42m NW-SE; c. 38m NE-SW) defined by a steep bank (Wth at top 1m; overall Wth 4.4m; int. H 0.75m; ext. H 1.15m) SE-S-W and a lower bank (Wth at top 1m; overall Wth 2.85m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.9m) in the NW and SE quadrants which is reduced to scarp (Wth 1m; H 0.85m) in the E sector, and a fosse (basal Wth 1m; overall Wth 5.7m; D 1.35m) SE-W-NW. The interior is accessible intermittently around the perimeter. A field boundary running north-westward from the NW quadrant has been removed and was possibly used to backfill the fosse in the N quadrant, while another field boundary, runs southward from the SW quadrant.

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.
