Overview

History & significance

I cannot provide a reliable description of this specific site. The National Heritage List for England reference number 1487263 does not correspond to a monument called "Earl of Abergavenny" in the established archaeological record that I can verify with confidence. The Earl of Abergavenny is primarily known as a historical title associated with the Nevill family and later with Kent, rather than as a designated ancient monument. Without access to verified information about what this particular NHLE entry actually designates, I cannot write the factual, measured description you have requested, as doing so would risk presenting inaccurate information as established scholarship.
