What is recorded here

On fairly level ground near the top of a ridge, ground sloping gently to W, in undulating terrain, under barley. Enclosure levelled a couple of years ago (c. 1990s) according to landowner's son. The field boundaries to N and W of the enclosure have been removed. The monument is depicted as a large, roughly circular area (diam. c. 53m) on the 1st 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map enclosed by field boundaries in the N, E and W quadrants and also at a short distance to the S. By the 2nd ed. (1904-5) the field boundary to the E had been removed and the monument, enclosed by a bank, appears more sub-rectangular. There is no visible trace above ground.

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.
