What is recorded here

Half-buried in Cartronamarkey pasture, the fort keeps its shape against centuries of rain and hoofprints. Its inner scarps rise a metre above the grass, while outer banks fade into shallow ridges that suggest a wider circle now forgotten. The missing southeast entrance and small southwest depression hint at a lived-in center where people may have gathered, argued, or watched the slope darken at dusk.

Close to the base of a NW-facing slope in pasture. A raised subcircular area (39m E-W; 36.5m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 0.85-1.3m), with a fosse (Wth 3.8-4.5m; D 0.2-0.4m) from WSW-N-NE and from E-ESE. An outer bank (Wth 3-5m; H 0.4-0.75m) is identifiable from W-WNW, from NNW-N-NE and from E-ESE. At ENE the outline of the levelled fosse and outer bank are marked by a berm (Wth 3.5-4m). A report in 1975 (SMR file) suggested that the original entrance may have been at SE and noted a small shallow depression, of unknown significance, in the interior at SW. Compiled by: Patrick F.
