Enclosure in Ballymore (killeenavarra By.) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Killeenavarra was a rectangular stone fort in Ballymore farmland, large enough to hold three houses and a dividing wall before the land swallowed the marks. Its double-faced boundary and outer crescent suggested a settled place where people controlled entry, exit and the use of its rooms. The stones have vanished from sight, but the shape remains in the names and the memory of the field.

In farmland. Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 178-9, no. 119) as a rectangular ‘Stone fort’ (38.4m N-S; 36.9m E-W) defined by a drystone wall (Wth 2.7m) composed of two faces of stone set on edge. Three house sites (GA103-016001- to GA103-016003-) and an internal dividing wall were visible in the interior. A wall extended from the monument at W, running in a NW direction. Two enclosures (GA103-016004- and GA103-016005-) were located near it. Unlike the house sites, which were also defined by double-faced walls, the walls of these structures consisted of a single face of blocks set on edge. A crescent-shaped wall of single blocks extended off N end of the monument. No visible surface trace of any of these features survives.
