What is recorded here
Indicated sits in open karst in County Clare, a subrectangular drystone enclosure about 29m by 22m that appeared on maps as a fort before inspection showed a modern build. The mistake is fitting: a sharp new line in ancient white stone may have looked like memory itself. Whatever it guarded, it guarded the surprise of being seen wrong.
Situated in a flat area of open karst. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). Indicated as ‘fort’ on a set of annotated maps in 1994 (pers. comm. T. Coffey, SMR file). On inspection in 1999 this was found to be a subrectangular enclosure (dims. c. 29m N-S; c. 22m E-W) of apparently modern construction defined by a drystone wall.
