What is recorded here

Kilbehy is a circular earthwork with two banks and a stone-strewn ditch, partly swallowed by pasture and trees on a south-facing slope. It is the kind of place people once called a fairy fort because its shape and hidden depth made it feel owned by something else. A household may have stood there before memory faded, using the banks to keep out rain, strangers and forgetfulness.

In pasture, on S-facing slope, below brow of hill. Roughly circular area (35.5m N-S; 34m E-W) enclosed by two concentric earthen banks, with an intervening fosse (Wth 1.4m). Inner bank (int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.6m), best preserved NW->N, becomes scarp-like ENE->ESE. Outer bank (ext. H 0.6m), incorporated into dry-stone field boundary SE->SW, has been denuded N->NE. Fosse is littered with stones and organic debris. Interior, under pasture but covered by mature deciduous trees, slopes down to SE. Field boundary, shown abutting enclosure at NNW on 1923 OS 6-inch map, has been removed. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
