What is recorded here

In undulating terrain on the S bank of the Aherlow River, under pasture. The monument has been levelled. It was not marked on the 1st 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map and on the 2nd 1901-05 ed. it is indicated as a curving scarp, only S side is hachured, running SE of Aherlow River with a field boundary forming the NE side. This field boundary has been removed but there is a gentle scarp visible in the SW quadrant. A hillock rises immediately SE of the enclosure and is partially incorporated in it. The enclosure is depicted on an aerial photograph (GSI S.631/2, 16-4-1974) as an angular boundary with hedgerow. It was probably levelled when the field boundary was removed.

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.
