What is recorded here

False memory is a trap. Show evidence, keep the facts being discussed, and never invent the missing part.
Enclosure described in 1943 as following; 'This is a simple circular stone walled fort the bank of which is now very much collapsed. A fosse is not visible. It is so collapsed and so densely overgrown that it is not possible to say on which side the entrance was. Its overall diameter is 105' [32m]. It is situated on rising ground' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 223). Outline of monument is visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 28 February 2020
