What is recorded here
Cloghboola More once held two circular forts, but the eastern site was levelled around 1984. Only a slight fence curve remains where a twenty-metre ring stood on the east-facing slope. The western fort still marks the land beside it. Whatever life moved through these rings has vanished into the pasture soil.
