What is recorded here

At the foot of a N-facing slope of a gentle hillock, with a standing stone (TS066-198----) visible 86m to the SSE on the summit. A stream runs roughly NE-SW c. 70m to the NW. There is a ring-barrow (TS066-172----) and a stepped barrow (TS066-122---) 184m and 260m to the S respectively. Identified by Doody (Bruff 58, aerial photograph 2133). A very subtle monument consisting of a low, roughly circular raised area (diam. N-S 5m; E-W 5.2m; H 0.03-0.15m) enclosed by a fosse (Wth 1.2-1.4m; D below ext. ground level 0.05-0.14m). There is no visible trace of an outer bank, the external ground level rises naturally to the E and S. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 13 March 2013

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.
