What is recorded here

Ballycloghan holds a thirty-four metre circular scar where human hands first folded earth into a living boundary. People may have breathed inside that curve before forgetting the name of the fort, leaving only a low ridge for cattle to step across.

On a gentle E-facing slope in pasture. A slightly raised circular area (diam. c. 34m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 2.4m; H 0.2m), which has been modified and incorporated into an NE-SW field boundary from WNW-N-NNE. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a shallow fosse at SE, which is no longer identifiable. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior is bisected by a low E-W bank of earth and stone (Wth 1.3m; H 0.3m) with traces of an accompanying fosse. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
