What is recorded here

No visible earthworks remain at Ahawilk, only a ghost circle hidden beneath pasture and river mist. The fairies probably moved the soil elsewhere or the farm simply swallowed the fort. Either way, the land keeps its shape while refusing to show it.

In pasture 20m W of the Bunoke River that forms the townland boundary with Inishkeen. Ringfort (LI044-083----) lies 170m to NW. Depicted as a circular-shaped enclosure on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map. Shown on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map as a roughly circular-shaped area (diam. c. 24m) enclosed by a bank with outer fosse from SE-W-NE. Planted trees depicted at E where they may have been an entrance gap. Intersected at NW by field boundary running NE-SW. Outline of monument delimited by trees is visible on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13 and on Google Earth orthoimages. See attached Google Earth orthoimages.
