Enclosure in Kildrinagh — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Twenty-four metres of low stoney bank circle a divided chamber above the medieval church, forcing whoever entered to confront the wide valley before touching the sacred ground. The scarp cuts the interior in two, perhaps separating the living from the dead or marking where breath left the body. Thorn bushes still choke the entrance, protecting the boundary between ordinary sight and the depth below.

On a steep slope N-facing slope on the S side of valley, a little above the slight terrace occupied by a medieval church (KK012-059001-) and graveyard (KK012-059002-), in reclaimed grassland. There are very good views across and along valley to the N, E and W. A sub-rectangular area (dims. 24m E-W; 23m N-S) enclosed by a low stoney bank (Wth c. 1m; int. H c. 0.15m at N, c. 0.5m at S; ext. H c. 0.5m at N, almost level at S) with rounded corners. The interior is divided in two by a low scarp (H 0.56m) running E-W. The monument is overgrown with scrub and thorn bushes.
