Settlement cluster in Keatingstown (crannagh By.)

Settlement cluster

What is recorded here

Concentric banks still mark the edge of a lost cluster above the Nore valley, while roads and house foundations were last seen before the field was levelled around 1947. The place stands at the meeting of memory and measurement: local witness gives it streets, satellite lines give it shape, and the land keeps both without explaining itself.
On the NE edge of a plateau looking down over a steep slope to the floor of the Nore river valley, in rolling grassland. According to local knowledge, 'roads and house foundations could be seen' in this field before being levelled c. 1947. On satellite imagery (Google Earth, 27 January 2019) two concentric slightly curving banks (L c. 160m; c. 20m apart) are visible. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 17 June 2020
