Hilltop enclosure in Ballyneillan (inchiquin By.),bushypark — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Hilltop enclosure in Ballyneillan (inchiquin By.) and Bushypark is a circular stone ring on a Clare ridge, half destroyed by a deep quarry beside it. The remaining stones circle a flat-topped cairn, marking a place where people gathered before the land was cut open. What was taken from the south is gone, but the north half still holds its shape against the sky.

Situated at the NE end of an NE-SW ridge. Not listed in the SMR (1992) or the RMP (1996). The ground slopes away to NW and NE and there is a deep active quarry (D 50m) immediately to the S. Only the N half of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 115m NE-SW) remains surrounding a flat-topped stone cairn (CL033-023001-). The enclosure is defined at SW by a stone spread (Wth 1m; H 0.5m), at W by a stony scarp (Wth 3m; H 0.2m) and at N by a stone spread (Wth 3m). It can be traced around to the cliff edge at NE. This enclosure is visible on a Google Earth aerial photograph (2018). The following images have been uploaded: CL033-023002-_01.jpg Enclosing element at NE. From SE.
