What is recorded here

Quignashee held a twenty-metre circular fort on a natural rise before men levelled it during 1930s reclamation. The earth resisted the claim of useful pasture, preserving a shape older than ownership. That temporary resistance marks the boundary between human certainty and divine patience.

In pasture, located on a rise. Shown on the 1930 OS 6-inch map as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) located at the W end of an irregular-shaped hachured area (c. 50m E–W; c. 25-30m N–S), most likely representing a natural rise. This enclosure has been levelled. According to local information, it consisted of a slightly raised area that was fenced around, and was removed during land reclamation in the 1930’s. The field was locally known as the ‘fort field’. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 17 April 2018
