What is recorded here

Cloghboola More held a forty-five metre earthen ring on a sun-facing slope until humans levelled it for pasture. Broker recorded two untouched stone heaps nearby, claiming a man lay buried beneath one, while standing stones framed the vanished circle. The fort disappeared, but the field kept its shape in memory, waiting for someone to stop measuring spades and start listening.

In pasture, on NE-facing slope. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 45m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map. Levelled; no visible surface trace. Probably fort mentioned by Broker (1937, 45), on Denny Lane's land, as being destroyed but located in 'field called Lisin 100 spades' from ringfort (8157), which lies c. 70m to S. There were 'a couple of heaps of stones there which [were] never touched, a man is said to have been buried near one (ibid.). Standing stone (6649) once stood immediately to S of site with second standing stone (6648) once standing c. 25m to NW of enclosure.
