Recorded monuments

• SL019-115 Stone circle
  Description

  Situated in gently undulating pasture. Not marked on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Roughly circular, raised level area (diam. 25m) defined by a low scarp (H 0.5m). Six large boulders set at irregular intervals form a kerb at E and S. At W and N the scarp has been incorporated into linear field boundaries. In the basal course of the N side of the wall at W are up to 18 closely-set large stones which are probably displaced kerb stones. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL019-122 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated on a gentle E-facing slope in undulating pasture. Not marked on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. On an aerial photograph (ACP V203/118-9, Roll 125, Pr. 24, SMR file) it appears as an oblong enclosure. At the location indicated is a low, roughly oval rise (c. 27m E-W; c. 22m N-S) with a fairly level top and broadly sloping sides. This appears to be a naturally-occurring low hillock or ridge.

• SL019-125 Mound
  Description

  Situated in level pasture. Not marked on the 1837 edition of 6-inch map. Described by a archaeological fieldworker in 1981 (SMR (1989) file) as 'a small flat-topped irregular-shaped mound some 7m in diameter and 70cm high'. Although grass-covered some stone was visible. The fieldworker believed that it may have been 'no more than a clearance cairn'. The site has since been levelled and there are no remains now visible at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

• SL019-126 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated atop a steep S-facing slope in pasture. Not marked on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map.
