What is recorded here

No visible entrance remains on the steep slope above Clooncose Lough, though a thirty-six metre circular scar still holds the memory of a threshold. Earth and stone were stacked into a five-metre bank, not for display but to keep out what the land believed dangerous. People may have lived inside that tilted circle, facing the water and leaving no name behind. The fort does not need a date to be real; it shape still resists forgetting.

On a steep NW-facing slope overlooking Clooncose Lough. A raised circular area (diam. 36.2m) enclosed from NE-E-S by a substantial bank of earth and stone (Wth 5.8m; H 1.3m) and a wide, shallow external fosse (Wth 5.5m; D 0.3m), both of which have been incorporated into a field boundary. Elsewhere the delimiting element is a poorly defined scarp (H 0.1-0.55m). The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior slopes appreciably from SE to NW. Compiled by: Patrick F.
