What is recorded here
Killinane holds a broken ring where the land itself drew the line. The incomplete curve suggests people shaped the earth, then left the edge open to memory. What is missing may be the point: a boundary half-made, waiting for someone to finish it with attention.
Aerial photograph (GB89.W.19) shows cropmark of a single ring-ditch with traces of an incomplete curvilinear (not concentric) enclosure. Close proximity to CW016-022----.
