What is recorded here
Killakee holds a ghost circle sixty metres wide, buried beneath forest soil downslope from Mountpelier Hill. A standing stone still marks the west edge, waiting for the missing boundary to reappear. The land swallowed the enclosure, but it never erased the shape entirely.
Located downslope from Mountpelier Hill, within a forest clearing. Appears on an aerial photograph (CUCAP1963, AIG 75) and is an etimated 60m in diameter (Healy 1975). No visible trace. A standing stone (DU025-021001-) is located to the W.
