What is recorded here
Kiltullagh North held a twenty-metre circular fort on a west-facing slope, visible enough for surveyors to mark in 1838 but erased thereafter. Only a nettle-choked rubble mound remains where people once lived, loved, argued and forgot the shape of their own walls. The land keeps the circle hidden, not lost.
On the W-facing slope of a hillock in rolling grassland. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m). Apart from an irregular nettle-covered mound of field-clearance rubble, no visible surface trace survives.
