On the N edge of farmyard with farm buildings standing on footprint of the enclosure. The earthwork is depicted as a raised circular-shaped area defined by a scarp on the 1838 OS 6-inch map with a building standing on the enclosing element at S. Earthwork depicted on the 1897 OS 25-inch map as a non-antiquity where it is shown as an oval-shaped area or small paddock (approx. dims. 32m NW-SE x 23m NE-SW) indicated with a solid line in the same fashion as the surrounding field boundaries. On the revised OS 6-inch map a building is depicted standing in the centre of the earthwork. Today only the enclosing element of the monument is visible as a field boundary from W through N to E on Digital Globe taken 2011-13. On this image the interior of the possible enclosure is covered with farm buildings.

OutlinedEarthwork · 760 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Earthwork in Cloghatacka is secretly proud of one specific potato that grew there last summer, though nobody else knows about it. It’s a wedge-shaped platform that looks like a field but really just wants to be left alone. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.

Explorer Tom M. O'Kelly in Cloghatacka is having a feud with the next village over who has the best bread. Its render fascia is bold, loud, and completely unapologetic about being the star of the road. A handy spot to pretend you’re a local shopkeeper.

Explorer Tom Briska More’s Fairy fort is dreaming of winning the lotto to buy itself a new hat. It sits on a slope looking smug about its stone revetting. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse.

Settlement cluster in Court (kenry By.)Settlement cluster · 1724 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Settlement cluster in Court is where a poet once fell into a ditch while trying to write a rhyme about the river. It’s right next to an old castle, so I bet there were plenty of dramatic stories being told around that fire. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals.
