Description
Situated on a slight rise, in low-lying marshy land, overlooked by higher ground in all directions. Depicted on Boyd Belvedere Estate Map of 1818 as a circular-shaped area defined by a perforated line. Depicted on 1837 OS 6-inch map as a large circular-shaped earthwork (approx. dims. 75m E-W; 73m N-S) enclosed by a wide bank. Monument described in 1971 as a very large, irregular-shaped earthwork enclosed by a bank and external fosse with no clear entrance feature visible.
