What is recorded here

Cloghanughera castle still casts a long shadow across the pasture, but the true boundary may be the hidden triangle beneath the grass. Two ridges, one nearly a metre high and the other barely a handshake tall, join a field fence to enclose space no longer visible. They might have marked a kitchen garden, a burial ground or a child’s pretending castle, yet the shape survived every plough and every forgotten owner. The land remembers what people stopped repeating.

In pasture, to E of Cloghanughera castle (14301). Two linear ridges on S side of field fence, one (H c. 0.9m; L 48m) running N-S, second (H 0.35m; L 72.6m) SW-NE; these form triangle with E-W field fence (L 74m).

In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
