What is recorded here

Situated on a slight rise, in gently undulating pasture, with good views in all directions. Depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as a subcircular-shaped earthwork (approx. dims. 28m NE-SW; 22m NW-SE). Cist (WM020-073----) lies c. 115m to E. Monument described in 1970 as a roughly circular-shaped area defined by the ploughed down remains of a low scarp (approx. H 0.3m) visible from NNW-N-NE and at SSW. There is no visible trace of an external fosse and the original entrance is not recognisable. The site is surrounded by modern field fences at E, S and W. Levelled monument is barely visible today as a subcircular-shaped cropmark on Digital Globe aerial photography. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien.

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.
