Enclosure in Kiltaan — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Kiltan holds a D-shaped stone enclosure where flat slabs point inward like fingers pressing into a hidden chamber. The western gap sits beside a large fallen stone, suggesting an entrance rather than a broken wall. People may have gathered there to mark seasons, keep livestock, or speak to the land before written records. The uneven limestone floor and rough pasture preserve more than measurement, inviting imagination to complete what time has blurred.

On a fairly level plateau in rough pasture, within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-059001-). Listed as ‘Stone circle (possible)’ in the RMP (1996), following initial identification by Michael MacMahon (1982, 6-7; 1990). This D-shaped enclosure (int. 10.9m E-W) with a straight E side (int. L 10.7m) is defined by a slab wall (Wth 0.5-0.7m; H 0.3-0.6m). The wall is mainly composed of interspersed slabs with their long axes pointing toward the centre of the enclosure. The perimeter is barely traceable at NW. There is a possible entrance gap (Wth 0.7m) at W, immediately to the S of a large stone (L 1.1m; T 0.2-0.3m; H 0.3-0.55m) laid on its side, its long axis along the enclosure’s perimeter. The interior is rather uneven, with karst limestone outcrops. The enclosure appears to be relatively modern.
