What is recorded here
Coolgrange holds an incomplete curvilinear enclosure beside a ringfort, visible only when dry soil and hungry grass reveal its ghost lines. The border never finished drawing itself, as if the hand that made it stopped mid-gesture or the land refused to keep the whole shape. What is missing may be the interesting part: a doorway, a deleted room, or a warning not to enter complete.
Aerial photograph (GB90.AY.03) shows cropmark of an incomplete curvilinear enclosure adjoined to the north of a ringfort (KK020-024----).
