What is recorded here
Killaspuglonane stands on a western ridge above the Dealagh River, preserving a twenty-four-metre circular platform where southern ploughing has erased one quadrant. The remaining northern banks still rise twenty-five centimetres above the pasture, marking an interior so empty that human purpose must be imagined rather than read from stones. A field boundary cuts across its eastern edge, yet the enclosure keeps its shape against the river fog and passing traffic.
In pasture on the W end of a ridge aligned E-W overlooking the Dealagh River to S. A subcircular platform (diam. 24m; H 0.25m), the SW quadrant of which has been reduced to field level but is still visible. The interior is level with no visible features. A field boundary runs along the E side of the monument. Visible as a prominent platform from the road to the N and broad enclosing banks along the N half are visible on OSi MapGenie 2013-2018.
