What is recorded here

Killaghteen holds a thirty-metre earthen ring marked on maps since 1841, yet dumped soil and dense growth have smothered much of the scarped edge. The centre remains a clear grassy disc, waiting for hands that remember how to shape earth rather than break it.

In level area of waste ground bordered by stream to N and E, and by trackway to SW. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on 1841 OS 6-inch map, and as oval platform (c. 30m N-S; c. 35m E-W) on 1924 OS 6-inch map, is now largely inaccessible because of dense overgrowth and dumped soil which covers much of site. Enclosing element appears to be a scarped edge. Centre of interior is clear of overgrowth and covered by grass. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
