What is recorded here

Half-buried in hill pasture above the Coomeelan stream, the D-shaped enclosure still wears its curving stone wall like a belt around forgotten life. It leans against a neighbour, shares a bank, and keeps a narrow northwest gap for entry. Nearby stones hint at burial and fire, suggesting this was no empty field but a working edge of human memory.

In rough hill pasture, on a S-facing slope, in the valley of the Coomeelan stream. A roughly D-shaped enclosure (8.4m NE-SW), which abuts the SW arc of another enclosure (KE102-041----), is defined by a curving, partially collapsed wall (T 1m; H 0.2m) of earth and stone. The NE side (L 12.5m) is formed by the earth and stone bank of the adjoining enclosure (KE102-041----). The entrance (Wth 1m) is at NW. There is another enclosure (KE102-041003-) c. 30m to the SW, a possible boulder-burial (KE102-041002-) c. 11m to the E and a fulacht fia (KE102-041004-) c. 30m to the SE.
