What is recorded here

Situated on a slight natural rise surrounded by gently undulating grassland. A raised sub-circular-shaped area (approx. diam. 38m NW-SE; 28m NE-SW) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a slight external fosse. The bank is best preserved at N and E, and almost reduced to a scarp elsewhere. The interior rises slightly towards the centre. Field fences intersect the perimeter at N, NE, E, SW and NW. See attached profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI. Compiled by: Frank Coyne and Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 7 September 2018
