What is recorded here

Thirty-five metres of wet pasture still hold a shallow circular bank, perhaps marking a post-1700 haggard rather than an ancient fort. It sits fifty metres from the Baunteen boundary watercourse, with a possible ringfort buried farther south. The earthwork has resisted explanation because it also resisted mapping, absent from the 1840 survey but visible in later images. That gap makes the circle less like a forgotten monument and more like a living boundary, drawn by people who understood the land better than later record-keepers.

In level wet pasture, with good views, 50m NE of a watercourse that forms townland boundary with Baunteen. Possible ringfort (LI050-016---) lies 175m to the S. Not marked on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map. Depicted on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map as a circular-shaped area enclosed by a bank from SSE-S-W-N, incorporated into a post-1700 field boundary from N-E-SSE. Surveyed by the ASI in 1999, described as a raised circular-shaped area (diam. 35m) enclosed by a low bank (H. 0.4m) from SE-S-W-N, incorporated into a field boundary from N-E-SE. Interior level and densely overgrown. Tree-covered monument visible on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-2013 and on Google Earth orthoimages. Earthwork may represent the remains of a post-1700 haggard or field boundary attached to a farmhouse as depicted on 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map.
