What is recorded here

Killavoy holds a circular enclosure twenty-three metres wide on a south-facing slope, its boundary reduced to a barely perceptible rise except where burnt mound material from a nearby fulacht fiadh obscures the northwest edge. It abuts a burial ground to the east, suggesting the living and dead shared one landscape. The enclosure may have marked a boundary for pasture, ceremony or memory, but its exact purpose has faded beneath grass and time.

Circular area (23m N-S) defined by barely perceptible rise, except on NW side where obscured by burnt mound material of fulacht fiadh (11050).
