What is recorded here
Kincullia’s low earthen ring holds a forgotten chamber beneath the grass, waiting for someone brave enough to stop pretending the ground is empty. The visible bank has surrendered to fields and time, but the hidden passage remains a deliberate wound in the earth, built by human hands and never explained. That is the shape of the lost world: not a grand castle, but a small circle around a secret door.
On a slight rise in grassland. Poorly preserved circular rath (diam. c. 40m) defined by a low bank from ENE through E to S. A NE-SW running field boundary clips the monument at W and another NW-SE running field boundary runs immediately to its SW. A Man-made underground passage (GA105-134001-) is associated.
