What is recorded here
Doonakenna held a twenty-metre earthen ring before ploughs and forgetting erased it. The flat pasture swallowed the fort, the field boundary, and every shadow the embankment once cast. What remains is a absent shape, a circle the land no longer remembers drawing.
In flat, low-lying pasture. Monument, depicted on 1923 OS 6-inch map as semicircular arc of embanked enclosure (diam. c. 20m) truncated on NW side by linear field boundary, has been levelled. No trace of monument evident when inspected. Field boundary now also levelled.
