What is recorded here
No visible stone remains, but a forgotten ringfort once stood on the Loughcurra South hillock. Its ghost still belongs to the land, waiting for rain or memory to reveal the shape that time erased.
On a hillock in pastureland. Marked on the OS 6-inch maps as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m). No visible surface trace survives. The cartographic evidence suggests it was a ringfort, possibly a cashel.
