What is recorded here

No. 6 of the Cahercorney complex is a 30-metre earthen ring with a continuous fosse and no visible entrance, sitting at the edge of an extensive marsh. O'Kelly measured its north bank at 1.5 metres in 1943 and noted rough boulders protruding through the clay. The missing entrance and marsh setting suggest people once navigated a wet, shifting landscape where a simple circular ridge may have marked territory, shelter or ritual rather than ordinary domestic life.

One of a complex of 12 monuments (LI032-073001-/013-). Listed by O'Kelly as monument No. 6 and described in 1943 as following; 'This is a raised circular platform of earth which has a slight bank around its north edge. It is, therefore, a Type B structure. It is surrounded by a fosse which is continuous and the entrance is not recognisable. The base of the platform seems to be made up of rough small boulders which protrude through the clay. The greatest height of the platform is at the north side, where is it 5' [1.5m] approximately. The overall diameter is 100' [30m]. This is on slightly lower ground than the other monuments described and is on the edge of a very extensive marsh. All these monuments, except Nos. 1 to 5 inclusive, are situated in a low-land marsh. Nos. 1, 2, 3, 10, 11 and 12 are not marked on the OS Maps (O'Kelly 1942-3, 181-2). The outline of the monument is visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs.
