Enclosure in Curraheen (condons and Clongibbon By.) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Curraheen holds a sixty-metre earthen ring where human life clustered across generations. An occupation site, pit burial, and two fulachta fiadh scatter nearby, suggesting the field served both living and dead. The low bank still marks the boundary between domestic space and open pasture, preserving the shape of choices made long before written record.

In undulating pasture, on N-facing slope. Circular area (diam. c. 60m) defined by low, well spread out, earthen bank, with external fosse N->SW. Fosse visible as shadow site N->SW in aerial photograph (CASAP).
