What is recorded here
Sixty-five metres of forgotten circle beneath Rathclogh field, broken by a farm wall and a building set across its northern edge. The land has swallowed the shape but never erased it, preserving a boundary that human hands keep rebuilding elsewhere. What lived inside that ring, and for how long before the farmyard claimed it, remains hidden beneath the grass.
A circular enclosure (diam. c. 65m) identified on lidar (Open Topographic Data Viewer, viewed 8 June 2020) and as a cropmark on satellite imagery (Google Earth satellite imagery, 14 September 2019) by Jean-Charles Caillère. It is located in a field immediately S of Rathclogh House and farmyard. A farm building appears to have been built partially on the N fosse of the enclosure. A field boundary runs NE-SW across the S portion of the enclosure. There is another enclosure (KK023-061----) c. 110m to the SSE.
