What is recorded here

Situated on a rise, in undulating pasture, with good views in all directions. Monument described as a roughly circular-shaped area enclosed by an inner bank, an intervening fosse and an outer bank. The monument is largely obscured by impenetrable vegetation. The low inner bank of earth and stone is on a high rise from SE-S-W. A number of boulders are on the inner bank and within the intervening fosse from NE-E. A field report from 1979 notes the presence of an outer bank. No clear entrance feature visible. A house site (WM024-154001-) is located within the interior. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien. Date of upload: 28 August 2019
