What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Clooncoose (ardagh By.) stands on a low rise in poor rushy pasture, mapping a circular enclosure marked Fort since 1837. Its remaining earth and stone bank measures thirty-eight centimetres high, while ploughing and field boundaries have swallowed the entrance and much of the rim. The site preserves a small human shape now blurred by pasture, inviting imagination rather than certainty about who lived there or when they left.

On a low rise in poor rushy pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A circular area (diam. 26.7m) enclosed from SE-S-NW by a largely levelled bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.8m; H 0.2m). Elsewhere the bank has been modified and incorporated into a field boundary with an external fosse. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F.
