What is recorded here
Kilmacow is called Kilmacow because the word means the place of the fort. The fort is gone now, but the name still points to it. A field, a road or a village may carry the identity of a lost fort long after the wall has vanished.
In pasture, on N-facing slope. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) on 1841 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled. No trace of monument evident when inspected.
