What is recorded here

Situated on a broad N-S spur. When inspected on 01 August 1990 this consisted of a circular grass-covered area (diam. 32m NW-SE) defined by a slight earthen bank (Wth 3m; max. int. H 0.8m; max. ext. H 1m), which has been altered SE-SW and removed by quarrying SW-NW. There was no visible fosse or entrance. A subsequent inspection on 28 February 2012 showed that gorse removal had damaged the interior of the monument and that the bank had been partially levelled from NW to NE with only slight traces of the bank (ext. H 0.3m) remaining. A slight scarp defines the edge of the interior from NE to SE. No bank or scarp is evident from SE to NW. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 07 July 2014
