What is recorded here
Eroded earth and scattered stones still mark a circular home in Caherclogh, though the boundary now competes with pasture and growing trees. The gentle dip at the centre suggests people once lived inside that ring, perhaps shielding themselves from rain or neighbours before the land changed hands and memory faded. What looks like a forgotten heap may have been a defended doorway, a kitchen, or a bedroom, depending on which generation you ask.
In pasture, on gentle S-facing slope. Circular area (24.8m N-S) enclosed by eroded earthen bank (int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.2m), which is truncated at N by E-W field boundary. Interior dips down gently towards centre and is overgrown by briars and deciduous trees. A noticeable scattering of stones around base of bank suggest it may have been stone faced.
