What is recorded here
Skahard holds two joined circles on a sun-facing slope above County Limerick, standing a hundred metres from an ancient cairn. The land has swallowed their marks, yet the shape survived in an aerial photograph taken decades before modern cameras passed overhead. People may have moved stones, built a gate or gathered at the seam where the circles met. The pasture gives nothing back now, but it still faces every direction and remembers the tilt of sunlight on an invisible room.
In undulating pasture on S-facing slope with good views in all directions, 100m SW of cairn (LI014-072----). Not depicted on the OS maps. Identified as a conjoined circular enclosure from Bruff Survey aerial photograph (AP 4/3742). No surface remains of the monument visible when inspected in 2005. No surface remains visible on Google Earth orthoimage taken 19/11/2019.
