What is recorded here
Kilcurrivard holds a broken circular cashel, thirty-eight metres across, where collapsed drystone walls still hint at rooms nobody named. The grasslands swallow the edges, but the interior divisions suggest people lived, stored, or hid behind stone before forgetting the shape. A man-made passage waits one hundred twenty metres to the northeast, inviting footsteps into darkness. The fort does not need praise; it needs witness.
In grassland. Poorly preserved circular cashel (D 38m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall. Within the interior, a series of stone walls may possibly be internal divisions. A probable Man-made underground passage (GA057-122----) lies c. 120m to NE.
