What is recorded here

Killashee holds a forgotten fort where a piper may have lived, loved or raged before forgetting the tune. The earth still marks the circle, steady beneath grass and time. What is forgotten is not lost; it is waiting for someone steady enough to remember.
On a W-facing pasture slope. Described (pers. comm. M. Byrne) as a partially overgrown, sub-circular area (c. 32m E-W; c. 30m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (av. H 0.4m) which is incorporated into a field boundary along its northern arc. No visible entrance or fosse. The interior is flat, slopes gently W, and the S-half contains a number of trees. Known locally as 'Piper's Hill Fort'. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 12 July 2012
