What is recorded here

On a gradual S-facing slope. Monument depicted on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map as a small squarish enclosure with rounded corners (dims. c. 32m NW-SE; c. 28m NE-SW) and on the 2nd (1906) ed. (diam. c. 44m) there is a quarry where the monument was located. There is no visible trace of the monument at ground level and it is likely to have been serverely damaged, if not completely destroyed by the quarrying activity. The quarry was subsequently filled in and in the early 1970s a house was built at this location. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 5 January 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.
