What is recorded here

Knockaunnamoughilly is a level hilltop pasture south of the Clare River, marked by a small flat-topped mound inside a much larger circular enclosure. The hill still faces the sky on every side, giving the place the appearance of a made chamber rather than an ordinary field. Whatever the people did there, they did it openly, with the river and horizon as witnesses.

On the level summit of Knockaunnamoughilly, in level pasture, c. 125m to S of the Clare River, with excellent views in all directions. Depicted on the 1840 OS 6-inch map as a circular-shaped enclosure standing in the centre of a large circular-shaped field (approx. diam. 115m).
