What is recorded here
Half-hidden in pasture beside the Foherish River, a broken earthen ring still stands where Clondrohid people once lived or feared the fairies. Its stone-faced bank rises nearly two metres, while a forgotten limekiln bites into the outer edge like a mouth waiting for fire. The missing half has vanished into grass and time, leaving only a curve that dares you to complete it with memory.
In pasture, on level ground, between Foherish River and Clondrohid village. Arc (C 30m) formed by earthen bank (int. H 1.8m) NNW->SSE, with external fosse (D 1.2m) NNW->E. Bank stone-faced internally; funnel of limekiln built into outer bank face to ESE. No visible surface trace of bank SSE->NNW.
