What is recorded here

Coolanoran held a twenty-metre earthen ring on a gentle slope above the farmyard. It stood tall enough to cast shadows and exclude unwanted visitors. A slurry pit swallowed its southern half in 1978, leaving only a six-metre northern scarpprimarily visible when rain washed the soil clean. The fortress became a farmyard hole, its ancient boundary erased by modern convenience.

On gentle N-facing slope, immediately N of farmhouse and yard. Monument, depicted on 1923 OS 6-inch map as circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m), has been levelled. According to local information levelled c. 1978 when a slurry-pit built over most of its S half, and spoil from pit used to infill waterlogged fosse. Only remains of enclosure now evident is arc of scarp (H 0.55m; Wth 6m) NNW->NE. Pump house built immediately to SE of site. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
