Earthwork in Bohercarron

Earthwork

What is recorded here

Bohercarron holds a ghost circle twenty-nine metres wide, hidden beneath reclaimed pasture and visible only when satellite light catches its faint outline. The earthwork lies beside a holy well and a boundary road, waiting for rain or drought to reveal the shape hands forgot.
In reclaimed pasture, immediately E of a local road that marks the townland boundary with Ballylooby. Holy Well (LI041-071----) lies 20m to NW. Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Possible enclosure identified by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 15; AP 5/2131). No surface remains visible on OSi orthophotos. Faint outline of circular-shaped cropmark (diam. c. 29m) visible on Google Earth orthoimage taken 18/11/2018. See attached Bruff aerial photograph and Google Earth orthoimages.
