What is recorded here

Doohyle More holds a thirty-metre ring where human ingenuity met living stone. The earth bank still stands beside a limestone outcrop, while mature trees shade the interior and boulders lean against the SE and N edges. It is not a dead ruin but a place where several kinds of life overlapped: human, botanical, mineral and seasonal. The fort has been absorbed into pasture and field boundaries, yet its shape remains clear enough to stop a person mid-thought. What is recorded is a ringfort; what is felt is a chamber where the boundary between made and natural became negotiable.

In pasture, on break in SW-facing hill slope. Circular area (diam. 30m) enclosed by earth-and-stone bank (int. H 0.9m; ext. H 0.45m). Bank, best preserved N->SE, incorporated into field boundary system SSE->W, where dry-stone wall runs along top of bank. Raised area of limestone outcrop adjoins to W. Boulders have been dumped against bank at SE and N. Level interior is covered by mature trees; limestone bedrock breaks surface in places. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
