What is recorded here

Doonkelly holds a broken stone ring above Doon Lough, mapping the edge of a place people stopped naming. Grass has swallowed most of the wall, leaving only a low scar across the slope. That loss is not nothing. It removes the chance of pointing at the ring and claiming to understand it.

Marked as a small embanked circular feature (ext. diam. c. 20m) only on the 1835 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a SW-facing slope overlooking the N shore of Doon Lough c. 130m to the S. This is an overgrown subcircular area (int. diam. 24m) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (Wth 1.8m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.5m) intermittently reduced to a scarp. There is no identifiable original entrance. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 September 2008
