What is recorded here

Situated on a slight natural rise surrounded by gently undulating grassland. Ringfort (WM011-067----) 165m to ENE. Ringfort (WM011-068----) 170m to SE. A sub-circular shaped area (approx. diam. 25m N-S; 28m E-W) enclosed by a poorly preserved earthen bank. The bank is levelled from SSW-W-NW. The interior has a general slope from SW-NE. A large quarry hole is visible in the interior. An ESB pole has been erected on the E perimeter of the monument, and there is a small modern pump house at S. A field fence running NNW-SSE intersects the monument from D-W-NW, and a second NE-SW field fence intersects the perimeter from NNW-N. The monument appears to have been completely levelled as it is only visible as a faint cropmark on Digital Globe aerial photograph taken November 2011.
