What is recorded here

Indicated is a vanished circular enclosure on a south slope above Lough Carra, recorded on an 1838 map but no longer visible in the rough pasture. It may have been a ringfort, a place where people lived, argued, loved and disappeared into the ordinary world. The land keeps the shape even when the stones and banks are gone.

In rough pasture, sloping to S, overlooking ough. Carra. Shown on OS map (1838) as circular enclosure. No visible surface traces. Possible ringfort site.
