What is recorded here

Kilglass contains an earthen ringfort measuring 31 by 25 metres, preserved inside reclaimed pasture beside a stream. People called it a fairy fort because the earthwork still suggests hidden life, yet it may have been an ordinary human home or marker. The bank rises from a low scarp, and a disused lime-kiln sits nearby. Forgetting the name does not erase the shape; the ground still holds the boundary someone drew.

In reclaimed pasture 50m E of a stream and 100m S of the townland boundary with Coolnamohoge. Depicted on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map as an oval-shaped enclosure. It is shown on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map as an oval-shaped area (dims. 31m NW-SE; 25m NE-SW) enclosed by a bank from SW-N-SE reduced to a scarp elsewhere. A disused lime-kiln is shown 50m to SW on 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map. Outline of monument overgrown with trees is visible on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13 and on Google Earth orthoimages. See attached Google Earth orthoimages.
