What is recorded here
Knockcommane holds a twenty-eight-metre earthen ring where modern stone walling now reinforces the northern base. Coniferous trees crowd the dry interior, marking a place where human hands shaped the earth before forgetting how to leave an entrance. The bank still stands, though its purpose has blurred into the kind of depth that makes ordinary fields feel like they are waiting for someone to remember them.
(diam. c. 28m) defined by an earthen bank (base Wth 3.8m; int. H 0.4m; ext. h 0.7m). Interior slopes slightly to ENE. Interior dry and planted with mature coniferous trees. No entrance feature visible. The base of the bank has been revetted with modern herringbone stone walling on N side only.
