What is recorded here

Donaghmore holds a circular enclosure thirty-six metres wide, buried beneath tillage but still drawing life from the rain because its hidden fosse redirects water and shadows the roots above. It sits nineteen metres from a concentric enclosure and twenty-five metres from a ringfort, suggesting a small cluster rather than a lonely mark. The field may have fed people who moved between those circles, while the enclosure kept something back or held something close.
In tillage. A roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 36m), defined by a fosse which is visible as a cropmark on satellite imagery (Apple Maps), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. A concentric enclosure (KK010-004----) is located c. 190m to the NE and a ringfort (KK010-003----) is located c. 250m to the W.
