What is recorded here

Doocatteen holds a sixteen-metre earthen ring where cattle still grind its western edge, proving the fort never stopped belonging to living things. Irises choke the outside ditch while the scarped bank rises marginally higher on the west, shaping a boundary that resists easy explanation. Human hands may have built it for residence or ritual, but the pastures have since swallowed its purpose, leaving only a circular scar the land still remembers.

In pasture, on gentle NE-facing slope. Circular area (15.5m N-S; 16m E-W) defined by scarped edge (H 1.4m; Wth 1.4m) with external fosse (Wth 3.8m; D 0.45m). Scarp, marginally higher along W arc, is generally covered with overgrowth and has been eroded by cattle in places. Causeway (Wth c. 3m) across fosse at W. Fosse is covered by irises. Interior is under pasture; E half is slightly lower than remainder. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
