What is recorded here

Croboy holds a faded earthen ring beside its lough, a shallow circular ridge where a grassy scarp still marks the edge of an old home. The entrance may be a narrow dip on the northeast, while the rest of the boundary melts into the land. People may have lived there, watched the water, or left the place to forget itself.

Situated on a slight ridge overlooking Croboy Lough which is c. 250m to the WNW. This is a slightly raised circular and grass-covered area (diam. 37m N-S; 36m E-W) sloping down to the NE defined by a scarp (max. H 1.2m at SW) that melds into the ground N-NE. There is no visible fosse, but the entrance may be a dip in the perimeter (Wth 4m) at NE. The cropmark can be seen on aerial images (OSAP 2017) and on Google Earth (06/06/2018).
