Enclosure in Dunmurry West — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

The story tells of a hidden chamber beneath the enclosure where a forgotten king kept his golden apples. The king gave an apple to a hungry traveller and the chamber vanished into the hill. The trig station still stands above the place where the chamber disappeared.

On the summit of Dunmurry Hill (OD 796 feet) within a hillfort (KD022-001001-). A small poorly preserved, sub-circular area (int. diams. 6.3m NE-SW; 5m NW-SE; ext. diams. 27.7m NW-SE; 22.4m NE-SW) is defined by a low, broad, grassed-over stoney bank (Wth 7.8m at NE-13.4m at NW; int H 0.3-0.6m; ext H 0.9-1.5m). A concrete Trigonometrical Station erected on the bank at NW is used as a scratching post and is heavily poached around the base. The monument is hachured as a raised area/mound on the 1st ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map, and it is possible that it is the remains of a partially robbed-out cairn. A second possible cairn (KD022-001003-) lies 8m to the NE.
