What is recorded here
Kiltan holds two circular stone enclosures on a gentle south-facing slope above exposed karst, one lying ten metres northwest of the other. They are not distant markers but neighbours, perhaps forming a single lived arrangement in the old field system. The nearby church and graveyard suggest this was a remembered place, not a forgotten one.
On a gentle S-facing slope in an area with extensive exposed karst and within an extensive field system (CL009-059001-). A subcircular enclosure (diam. c. 15m) defined by a grassed-over stone wall visible on Digital Globe (2011-2013) and on OSi orthophotography (MapGenie 2013-2018). Another enclosure (CL009-239----) lies c. 10m to the NW. Noughaval church (CL009-059023-) and graveyard (CL009-059024-) lie across the road c. 150m to the SW.
