What is recorded here

Clooncrippa holds a forty-two metre ring where cattle still grind the earthen bank into powder. The gap at west-south faces the setting sun like a door left open for whoever walks without feet. What was built there has been forgotten by every human tongue, but the shape remains patient in the pasture, waiting to be remembered or swallowed by grass.

In pasture, on gentle S-facing slope. Circular area (diam. 42m) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 1m; ext. H 1.25m) with external fosse (D c. 0.1m: Wth 0.8m) which is intermittent and indistinct. Bank is partially covered by dense overgrowth, and heavily eroded by cattle ENE->NW. Gap (Wth 2m) in bank at WSW; fosse infilled with rubble in this area. Recent farm trackway skirts fosse at SW; surrounding field boundaries have been removed. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
