What is recorded here

Cloonee holds a broken fairy fort where uprooted trees and new soil bury the old bank. The region still remembers that people built visible marks for love, warning or claim. To see the hole, measure the edge and record what remains is to continue that human habit of giving shape to experience.

In undulating pasture. Oval area (c. 15m N-S; c. 20m W-E) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.4m) with barely perceptible external fosse (D c. 0.1m; Wth 1.6m); enclosing element is obscured N->NE by earthen material recently dumped atop it. Enclosing element and interior largely obscured by dense overgrowth of trees and bushes; uprooted tree roots are strewn over interior. Outer edge of fosse is truncated SE->W by field boundary travelling concentric with it. Interior surface damaged by shallow quarrying in E quadrant; in NW quadrant is oval depression (5m x 3m; D c. 0.4m). Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
