Enclosure in Killinane — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Killinane holds an incomplete circular enclosure marked only by a shallow fosse and shadows in growing crops. The earth keeps its shape while human memory has thinned, suggesting people once drew a boundary around land they valued or feared to lose. That much is visible; the reason and ownership have faded into the soil.

Aerial photographs (GB89.W.20; (ASIAP (15) 3-5)) show cropmark of an incomplete sub-circular enclosure defined by a fosse. Reference: Barrett, G.F.
