What is recorded here

On the crest of a flat-topped, gently undulating, roughly E-W running ridge, in pasture. The monument is depicted as a roughly circular enclosure on the 1st (1840) and 2nd (1906) ed. OS 6-inch map (diam. c. 58m). On the 2nd (1904) ed. a fosse is clearly depicted enclosing the N half of the monument. The field boundary which ran E-W from the E quadrant has been removed, as has the enclosure itself. There is no visible trace of the enclosure at ground level. A house with separate garage was built c. 40-50m S of the enclosure in the late 1990s. According to local information this enclosure was levelled in the 1970s/80s.

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.
