What is recorded here

At the northern tip of a headland above Lough Conn, a subtle rise in the pasture may mark a forgotten fort. The land juts into a small bay like a broken tooth, holding no visible wall but resisting every claim to forget it. Cattle still walk the ancient edge, pressing their bodies against the water's reach.

In pasture, at the tip of a headland jutting N into a small bay on the NE shoreline of Lough Conn. Not shown on the 1838 and 1930 OS 6-inch maps; shown on the 25-inch plan as a subtriangular-shaped hachured area (c. 40m N−S; c. 30m E−W at broad S end), encompassing the roughly triangular-shaped tip of the headland, and listed in 1991 SMR and in 1997 RMP as a possible promontory fort on this basis. A very slight rise in ground level is evident at the location, but there is no visible above ground evidence of an enclosure. A straight field fence is shown on the 1930 OS 6-inch map cutting across the headland on a NE−SW axis; this has been removed. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 1 April 2020
