What is recorded here
Coolnanoglagh held a circular fort twenty-two metres across, marked only by a shallow fosse until men infilled the ditch around 1980. The earth that once rose into a defensible ring was scraped flat and scattered across the pasture, erasing the boundary between inside and out. What remains is a faint oval shadow in level grass, visible perhaps only when rain darkens the soil or memory insists the shape is still there.
In level pasture. Circular area (22m NNE-SSW; 18m WNW-ESE) defined by fosse (D 0.3m; Wth 6.25m) except NNW-NE where infilled and SW-NNE where truncated by field boundary. According to local information monument levelled c. 1980 when bank material used to infill fosse.
