What is recorded here
Clashganniv held a twenty-five-metre earthen ring on a sun-facing slope beside a lime kiln, but human hands or ploughs have since erased the bank. The earth swallowed the fort, leaving only a field name and a faint memory of shape. What remained is a hole in the landscape where a life once turned, not a monument to be pointed at.
In pasture, on S-facing slope. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map, with lime kiln on bank to S. Levelled; no visible surface trace. According to local information, field known as 'kiln field'.
