What is recorded here

Dromloughan North holds a ghost circle twenty-two metres wide, visible only through thicker thistle growth rather than stone or soil marks. The enclosure sits between two ringforts on an east-facing slope, waiting for rain or rhythm to reveal its shape. It resists cameras and maps, appearing instead in the uneven life of the pasture itself.

In undulating pasture, on a slight E-facing slope, immediately S of townland boundary with Fearoe. A ringfort (LI022-062----) lies 122m to SE, ringfort (LI022-059----) 168m to SW. Not depicted on the 1840 OSi 6-inch map or the 1897 OSi 25-inch map. Potential archaeological site identified from an examination of 1:10000 Bord Gáis Éireann aerial photographs during work on the Curraleigh–Limerick gas pipeline in 1986 (BGE No. 38, Site No. 022211). Visited by the ASI in 2000 and described no surface remains visible. A circular-shaped area (diam. 22m) defined by thistle growth may represent the cropmark of the potential enclosure identified on aerial photographs.
