What is recorded here

Situated on low-lying wet grassland. Possible moated site (WM011-123---) 55m to NW. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as an oval-shaped enclosure and as a semi-circular shaped earthwork on the revised 1911 ed. OS 25-inch map. The site had been partially levelled between these two dates. Now reduced to an oval scarp (approx. diam 45m NE-SW; H 1m) the monument has been bisected by a 20th century field fence running NE-SW. No trace of the monument survives on the N side of this fence. The interior is level and has a slight slope from NE-SW. Compiled by: Frank Coyne and Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 29 August 2017
