What is recorded here

Kilgobbin holds a vanished enclosure beside a ringfort, yet no wall, ditch or shadow remains for eyes to catch. The land may have worn the boundary flat while people lived nearby, but the absence resists every attempt to picture it. What was kept inside, and who stood outside watching, has left no mark at all.

On a slight W-facing slope, in pasture, with moderate to poor views in all directions. Not depicted on OS historic mapping. Ringfort (LI021-015----) 230m to E.
