What is recorded here

Knockaderry holds a broken stone ring on the eastern edge of a low plateau, its wide collapsed wall hiding the entrance and original shape. A small hut site and a narrow path still mark the interior, suggesting people lived, moved and forgotten inside the circle. The fairies may have taken the fort from human memory, but the stones remain large enough to touch and odd enough to remember.

Situated at the E edge of a low plateau. Listed as 'Enclosure' in the SMR (1992) and RMP (1996). A circular scrub- and tree-covered area (int. diam. 31.4m NE-SW; 31m NW-SE) defined by a stone spread (Wth 5-7m generally to 8.5m at SE; int. H 0.6-1m; ext. H 0.8-1.4m). Occasional facing stones are visible, but the original width of the wall cannot be gauged, and the original entrance cannot be identified. There is a small hut site (CL033-042002-) inside the perimeter at N. A pathway (Wth 1.6m) bordered by collapsed walls crosses the monument WNW-ESE.
