Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cloghatrida

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Cloghatrida held a twenty-metre embanked ring on a gentle slope, but that shape has vanished into rough pasture. The land keeps no visible scar, only a hidden memory of walls that once stood beside a larger neighbouring enclosure. What was built there is gone, leaving behind a quiet emptiness where human hands once shaped the earth.
In rough pasture, on gentle SSE-facing slope. Monument, depicted on 1841 OS 6-inch map as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m), has been levelled. No trace of monument evident when inspected. A larger circular enclosure (LI020-109---) is depicted on OS 6-inch map conjoined to N side. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
