What is recorded here
Marianne and her mother walked the rocky rim at Cragreagh while the boy sat inside the shadow. The fort was not a toy, though it was small enough for a child to measure with outstretched arms. Its stones marked a place where people had lived, watched the field, and left behind a shape still visible on the land.
On a SE-facing slope in an area of scrub within a large field system (CL008-053001-). A subcircular enclosure (diam. c. 27m) defined by a stone wall visible on Google Earth (imagery date 2 April 2005) and on Digital Globe (2011-2013). The townland boundary with Cragreagh runs along the perimeter from NW to E. Cahermoyle (CL004-078----) lies c. 145m to the W.
