What is recorded here

Farnagh,glack holds a broad earthen ring where human hands shaped the hill before golf carts rolled across it. The lost boundary may have marked a home, a shrine or a warning, but the grass has swallowed the answer. What remains is a circular scar in the ground, large enough to contain life and quiet enough to erase it.

A short distance from the top of a low hill within a golf course. A raised circular area (diam. 41.7m) enclosed by a substantial bank of earth and stone (Wth 8.4m; H 0.6-1.5m) with a wide, deep, external fosse (Wth 4.5m; D 1.6m). A report in 1975 (SMR file) noted a low outer bank on the W side of the monument and an entrance gap at ENE. It was unclear whether the outer bank was an original or more recent feature. It has since been levelled, and at ENE the inner bank and fosse have also been levelled where a teeing-off point has been constructed. Compiled by: Patrick F.
