What is recorded here

Castle, ringwork in Cullahill (glenkeen Par.),curraghkeal stands on a natural hillock above a western river, joining another ringwork southwest through open land. Its two earth and stone banks still mark a broad circular space, though the inner edge has thinned and the outer east has vanished. The missing entrance and destroyed bank suggest a busy place where people came and went before the land took back its shape.

Situated on a natural hillock overlooking a river immediately to the W with a nearby ringwork (TN034-025004) to the SW. A raised circular area (diam 47m NE-SW; H 1-4m) enclosed by two earth and stone banks with a wide flat-bottomed intervening fosse (Wth 4m; D 1m). No clear entrance feature visible. The inner bank is mainly reduced to a scarp while the outer bank (Wth 2.5m; ext. H 0.5-1.5m) is best preserved at W and is totally destroyed at E.
