What is recorded here
Farranfore: A circular scarred field, 19m wide, sits east of the railway junction. The west edge is cut by a drain and field boundary. Dense vegetation hides the full perimeter. The earthwork may have marked a boundary, a ritual site, or a lost settlement. Its shape suggests human intention, but time and growth have blurred its purpose.
In level pasture, to the E of Farranfore railway junction. A roughly circular area (c. 19m WSW-ENE; c. 18m NNW-SSE) defined by a scarp (H 0.7m). The W sector is crossed by a NW-SE field boundary and drain. The perimeter is difficult to establish due to dense vegetation. (Castleisland District Archaeological Survey)
