What is recorded here

No visible stones remain, yet the suboval shadow lingers on Cullahill Mountain. A field wall now cuts through what might have been a fort, suggesting human hands shaped the land before memory faded. The absence invites wonder rather than certainty.

Marked on the 1841 edition of the OS 6-inch map; a suboval 'fort' (max. dims. c. 50m E-W; 45m NW-SE) cut by a field wall from NW-N. Situated in an upland area. No visible surface remains.
