What is recorded here

Half-hidden under grass and memory, the fort keeps its shape only in maps and shadow. It was a ring of earth, not a claim to glory, and the land took back what it could. What remains is a faint line in soil and image, waiting for someone to stop measuring and start listening.

In level pasture with poor views in all directions, 10m E of townland boundary with Knocknagranshy. Enclosure (LI022-120----) lies 222m to NW. Depicted on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular-shaped earthwork defined by a scarp. Marked on the 1897 ed. OS 25-inch map as a semi-circular shaped area (approx. 22m NE-SW) enclosed by a bank from N-W-S-WSW and intersected by field boundary from WSW to NE. The enclosing element from WSW-W-N was levelled between the two map dates. No surface remains visible. Faint trace of cropmark of levelled monument visible on Google Earth orthoimage taken in 2020 and OSi orthophotos taken 2005-2012.
