What is recorded here

Situated on top of a drumlin-like ridge running NW-SE overlooked by higher ridge to W. No surface remains visible of moument on Digital Globe aerial photographs taken November 2011. Monument described by ASI in 1973 as 'small almond shaped enclosure (dims. 15m NE-SW x 9m NW-SE) bounded by a slight bank (Wth 2.8m; H 0.35m) with vague suggestion of a fosse outside it. The long axis is NE-SW and the short axis is NW-SE. The interior is smooth and almost level. No visible trace of an entrance but the bank is very slight' (ASI Field Report 30/07/1973). Compiled by: Frank Coyne & Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 18 November 2016

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.
