What is recorded here
Knockardsharriv held a levelled single-ramparted fort roughly thirty-nine yards across, buried beneath Mrs O'Donoghue's land before modern memory reached it. The earth swallowed the rampart, yet the shape persists in local names and forgotten boundary lines. People may have lived inside that circle, watched storms pass, or abandoned it when the soil became too heavy for pride. What remains is a hollow suggestion, waiting for someone to stop measuring and start listening.
Bowman (1934, 50) recorded levelled single-ramparted fort (diam. c. 39yd) in Mrs O'Donoghue's land. Exact location not known.
