What is recorded here
Kilnacally is a ghost of a ringfort now, a shallow dish of loose stone at the edge of a grass shelf above the Claureen River. It has no wall, no door, no shape a person would recognise at a glance. What is left is a circle of forgotten pressure, as if the fort dissolved back into the hill and kept only its boundary.
Situated at the outer edge of a shelf on a SE-facing slope with the SW-NE Claureen River c. 120m to the SE. A circular overgrown area (diam. c. 30m) defined by a stone spread (at N: Wth 3m; H 0.4-0.8m; at E: Wth 2m; H 0.4m). There are no visible facing stones and an original entrance was not identified.
