Location - Corvally; Clare Mountain; Aghalek; Ramoan; Moyle.

Description
High up on a south east facing slope of Knocklayd are the remains of 12 possible structures, associated field banks & an enclosure, in 3 townlands concentrated along the 900ft contour line. The structures are mostly rectangular, some with field banks attached. In some, doorways & internal walls are discernible. The associated field banks are of earth & stone & vary from quite well preserved to poorly preserved. Classification is uncertain, but the large size of some of the structures & the linear banks suggest that this was a permanent settlement, possibly post-medieval, rather than a booleying site.
