What is recorded here
No visible fort remains in Cragard, Carrowdotia. What is left is a shallow stone spread, a few facing blocks and a boundary wall crossing the NE part of the circle. The fairies may have taken the rest, or men may have simply taken the stones for their own walls.
On a N and NW slope in fertile pasture with views mainly confined to the W. Hachured on the 1920 OS 6-inch map. A circular area (int. diam. 23m N-S; 20m E-W) defined by a stone spread (Wth 4-6m; int. H 0.2-0.6m; ext. H 0.6-1.2m) with some inner and outer facing stones (dims. 0.4m x 0.7m; H 0.3m) NNE-E (Wth of wall 1.6-1.8m), and at W. A drystone wall (the townland boundary with Craggard) overlies the NE part of the interior. Faint traces of an outer enclosing element are visible on OS MapGenie orthophotographs (2006-2012).
