What is recorded here

Knockainy Hill still holds a broken stone ring on its west slope, yet the entrance has vanished and the rampart lies collapsed under grass. The fort measures nineteen metres across, small enough for a family or large enough for a trickster fairy court, but no door remains to prove which. It is not certain whether people lived there or forgotten it, only that the stones still circle the hill like a sentence interrupted mid-breath.

Stone fort described by O'Kelly (1944, 22) as following; 'Now very collapsed but seems to have had a stone rampart which remains to a height of 2' 6" [0.76m]. The entrance is not recognisable. Overall diameter 98' [30m]. It lies on the W. slope of Knockainy Hill just inside the Hill Fort bank described above'. In 2004 this cashel was described as 'This circular site measures 19m east-west and is surrounded by a stone bank. No evidence of coursing was noted. The dished interior did not contain any features and no entrance was visible' (Condit and Coyne 2004). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 09 August 2019
