What is recorded here
No visible gate or entrance is recorded, yet the earth bank still stands in open pasture beside Lackanaloy Creek. Its small round shape leaves no room for grand claims, but it keeps the chance that people once drew a line around life itself. The missing entrance may have been forgotten, buried or never built in a way that survives pride.
In pastureland overlooking Lackanaloy Creek to NW. This small subcircular enclosure (9.9m E-W; 8m N-S) is defined by an earthen bank. Gaps in the bank at W and N do not appear to be original. A raised trackway (L c. 30m) extends from SW for a distance of c. 30m and leads to a rath (GA102-003----). (McCaffrey 1952, 174)
