What is recorded here

Thirty metres across in upland pasture west of the Galtee Mountains, the enclosure keeps its circular shape beneath scrub and memory. Westropp called it a conjoined fort, yet no wall remains to prove him right or wrong. The land itself has done the enclosing, raising a scarp from southwest through north to southeast while a field boundary cuts the southern edge. Whoever lived here understood that visibility and defensible ground could be taken from open pasture without building a stone.

In upland pasture to W of Galtee Mountain range, 150m E of a watercourse that marks the townland boundary with Baurnagurrahy. Enclosure (LI057-019001-) lies to immediate N. Depicted on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map as a circular enclosure. It is shown on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map as a raised roughly circular-shaped area (diam. 30m) defined by a scarp from SW-N-SE. Truncated at S by field boundary running NW-SE and enclosed by a curving field boundary from SW-N-SE. Recorded by Westropp as a conjoined fort (1919-17, 21). Scrub-covered area visible on Google Earth orthoimages. See attached Google Earth orthoimages. Compiled by: Martin Fitzpatrick Date of upload: 18 November 2021
