Enclosure in Knocknamucklagh — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Knocknamucklagh holds an oval enclosure twenty-three and a half metres deep, its low earthen bank barely rising thirty centimetres above rough pasture. It sits on the east slope of a natural rise, two hundred and fifty metres from a ringfort, suggesting a settled community rather than a passing trade. The bank is partly buried under clearance material, hinting that people worked the land repeatedly until the shape became a memory instead of a boundary.

In rough pasture, with much scrub. On E slope of natural rise, 250m to W is ringfort (MA117-036001-). Oval-shaped area (23.5m N-S; 30m E-W), enclosed by low earthen bank (H 0.3m), partly overlain by clearance material. The above description has been derived from D.
