The National Monuments Service's description
This monument number was previously assigned to the earthwork complex of prehistoric earthworks on this hillside which have been assigned individual SMR Numbers. This classification is no longer used by the ASI and the number has been reassigned to a possible circular-shaped earthwork visible on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13 and on Google Earth orthoimages.
