What is recorded here
Durraclogh held a twenty-metre earthen ring on a north-facing slope, visible on the 1841 map but reduced to an eastern fragment by 1923. The loss of its western edge suggests ordinary farming gradually erased a boundary people once recognised. What remains is a ghost of a circle, half-swallowed by the field that cut through it.
In pasture, on N-facing slope at E end of E-W running ridge. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure on 1841 OS 6-inch map (diam. c. 20m), has been levelled. The 1923 OS 6-inch map shows site bisected by N-S field boundary with enclosing element present only on E side of boundary.
