  Description

  Situated in gently undulating pasture, with restricted views. Depicted on the 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as a subrectangular-shaped earthwork. Monument described in 1982 as a high subcircular-shaped platform (dims. 20m N-S; 21m E-W) defined by a scarp, an intervening fosse and an outer bank. The inner scarp is approx. H 2m above the base of the intervening fosse. A wide, deep fosse (approx. Wth 5m) is visible from N-E-S-SSW. A wide tree-lined outer bank (approx. Wth 3m; ext. H 0.75m-1m) is visible from ESE-S-SSW. There is no trace of a fosse or an outer bank from SSW-W-N. Close to the base of the scarp, a tree-lined jumble of large boulders and a very inconsequential earthen back (possibly debris from field clearance) continues from SSW-W-N. The interior is slightly domed and there are no structures visible. The monument is riddled with large badger sets and a long section from ESE-SSE has been quarried away. Monument is visible today as a tree-planted earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photography. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien. Date of upload: 12 November 2019
