What is recorded here
Killadiskert holds a small ringfort on a slight ridge, visible in 1835 and 1907 maps as a twenty-to-twenty-five-metre enclosure. The flat-topped rise now measures sixteen by eleven metres and reaches 1.8m high, clothed in trees rather than bare stone. It is the kind of place where people may have lived, hidden or worshipped before the ridge became a ridge and the fort became a story.
Situated on a slight ridge in a fold of a S-facing slope. It is indicated as a small enclosure (diam. c. 20-25m) on the 1835 and 1907 editions of the OS 6-inch maps. This is a flat-topped rise (dims 16m N-S; 11m E-W; max. H 1.8m), planted with trees.
