What is recorded here

On a gentle SE-facing slope. According to Price (1958, 375), ‘On a farm here there is an arrangement of low grass banks forming a maze, which is locally called ‘the walls of Troy’. The maze appears to have been a sod or turf maze (Manning 2004, 166-8). A sketch by Healy c. 1957 (ibid.) shows it as a rectangular labyrinth (dims. 24.4m x 26.4m). The monument was levelled in 1990 and is not visible above ground. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 05 October 2012
