What is recorded here
Knockbrack held a thirty-metre earthen ring on a steep slope, visible on the 1841 map but now levelled into pasture. The land swallowed the fort, perhaps through ploughing or neglect, erasing the very boundary that once shaped the hill. What remains is a absent circle, remembered only through the line drawn decades before it vanished.
In pasture, on steep WSW-facing slope. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on 1841 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled. No trace of monument evident when inspected.
