What is recorded here

Knockeenduff holds a broken earthen ring where a lane cut through ancient pasture, leaving behind a low bank and shallow ditch that still shadow the slope. Rushes crowd the interior now, but the shape suggests people once drew a boundary around their lives before roads and fields rewrote the land. The nearby cooking site implies meals, heat and gathering, while the fort itself may have stored tools, seeds or memory.

In rough pasture, on a W-facing slope with views restricted by trees. An arc (C 30m) of a low earthen bank (Wth 2.6m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.4m) NW-S abuts the E side of a linear NNW-SSE field and lane boundary. A shallow external fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.2m) is evident N-S. Rushes grow in the interior. The circular rath, truncated by a linear lane at SW, is clearly visible as a shadow site on an aerial photograph (GSIAP, N 394-5). There is a fulacht fia (KE058-160001-) c. 40m to the E.
