What is recorded here

Dooncaha held a twenty-five metre ringfort on an east-facing slope before ploughs and boundary changes erased most of its shape. A curving bank and shallow scarped edge still mark where the enclosure stood, suggesting humans lived, worked or hid inside that small circle while fairies owned the story. The land kept both truths: the measured remains and the unnamed lives that shaped them.

In pasture, on gentle E-facing slope. Monument, depicted as roughly circular embanked enclosure (diam. c. 25m) on 1923 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled. However, part of enclosing element may be incorporated into slightly curving earthen bank (int. H 1.5m; ext. H 1.55m) which form part of field boundary system; boundaries to S of enclosure have been removed. Extending into field from boundary SSE->SW is slight scarped edge (H 0.15m; Wth 1.8m) which is probably remains of enclosing element. Site was described in 1964 (OPW Top. File) as circular area (diam. c. 30m) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 1.1m; ext. H 1.25m) with gap on E side. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
