What is recorded here

Cloghballymore once held an oval stone fort, but forestry clearance and agricultural sheds have since buried the double-faced wall and erased the visible boundary. The site transforms from inhabited structure to forgotten earth, reminding us that measurement and memory need witness to survive.

In recently cleared woodland. Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 192, no. 104a) as an oval ‘Stone fort’ (c. 38.4m by 32.9m) defined by a double-faced drystone wall. When inspected in May 1992 a large mound of earth and stone, and forestry clearance (c. 70m by 50m) occupied the site and no visible surface trace of the monument survived. OSi aerial photographs (last accessed 27 November 2017) indicate that agricultural sheds have since been built on the site.
