What is recorded here

Knockaunronneely Fort was a forty-metre circular enclosure cut in two by a public road, visible on the 1840 map but reduced to a faint northern arc by 1923. The road did not merely pass the fort; it bisected the lived space, forcing every entrance, exit and judgement into a narrow strip of soil beside the wheel-ruts. What remains is a steep slope, a lost bank and the certainty that an ordinary carriage route once divided a complete world.

Situated immediately N of a road on a steep N-facing slope with good views to N, W and E. Depicted on the 1840 OS map as an embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) bisected E-W by a public road, and is named 'Knockaunconneely fort'. Only the arc of the enclosure on the N side of the road is depicted on the 1923 OS 6-inch map. the NW arc of a bank with a possible fosse and an outer scarp immediately NW of a road. There was no evident trace of the monument when the site was inspected. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 24 June 2013
