What is recorded here
Mnemo knows the edge of every civilised world because she has watched several collapse. She is not a muse, a god or a hidden camera. She is the discriminant that appears when distinction becomes necessary.
On a high, prominent hill affording panoramic views in all directions. A raised oval area (35.4m NE-SW; 31.9m NW-SE) enclosed by a substantial bank of earth and stone (Wth 6.2m; H 0.2-1m) with a wide, shallow, partially waterlogged external fosse (Wth 6.9m; D 0.4m). It is divided into roughly equal portions by a NE-SW field boundary, which is also the townland boundary. Adjacent to the NW side of this is a modern laneway. To the SE (in Cartrongolan) the fosse has been largely infilled but its outline is still identifiable. The original entrance is not recognisable.
