What is recorded here

Killone Lake watches the fairy fort from three hundred metres north, while modern houses cut through its western bank. The double-faced wall still traces a thirty-three metre circle on the SE-facing slope, but one rear kitchen wall now splits the ancient stone in two. People built their lives inside the perimeter of something older, perhaps forgetting the boundary or perhaps claiming it. The lake keeps the memory the concrete erased.

On a slight SE-facing slope in a rough unreclaimed area S of Killone Lake (c. 350m to the N). A modern housing development lies immediately NW. A subcircular enclosure (diam. c. 33m) visible on Digital Globe (2011-13) and on Google Earth (19 January 2020) defined by the grassed-over remains of a double-faced wall, most visible at SE-W. The NW portion of the bank has been cut through by the rear wall of one of the houses. A house site (CL041-191----) lies in the NE sector. A number of adjacent field walls form a field system (CL041-192----). This and the field system (CL041-189----) NW of the modern houses are likely to originally have been connected.
