What is recorded here

Situated on a slight natural rise in gently undulating grassland on the landscape grounds of Rosmead House 930m to SW. Depicted as a large bivallate circular enclosure and annotated as ‘Fort’ on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map. Depicted as a tree-lined bivallate enclosure on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map where it looks like a designed landscape feature associated with Rosmead House. The enclosure is not depicted on subsequent editions. No surface remains visible of levelled monument which may have been reused as a tree-ring in the 18th century as part of the landscaping of the estate belonging to Rosmead House.. Cropmark of bivallate enclosure visible on Digital Globe aerial photograph taken November 2011. Compiled by: Frank Coyne and Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 28 April 2017
