What is recorded here
No visible monument remains at Clonassy, though old maps and local memory agree that a ringfort once stood there. It may have been a small defended home, a boundary marker, or a forgotten settlement that the land later absorbed. What is certain is that the place was important enough to name, draw and remember long after its earthworks disappeared.
