What is recorded here
Killoghil holds two conjoined stone circles on a high Moneen terrace, perhaps prehistoric, perhaps medieval, with post-medieval ridge and furrow still visible inside. The walls tumble low against the sky, suggesting people once shaped that exposed slope for living or keeping before forgetting the exact purpose.
On a terrace on the high NW slopes of Moneen Mountain. An irregular enclosure (diam. c. 60m) defined by low tumbled stone walls of possible prehistoric or medieval date. Ridge and furrow most likely of post-medieval date is visible in the interior. A second enclosure (CL005-058----) is conjoined at E. This was noted on Digital Globe (2011-2013) and reported to the National Monuments Service by Ros Ó Maoldúin.
