What is recorded here

Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). Published as a ‘fort’ in a note (Coffey 1987, 49) and described as lying between Port House and the gateway to the disused kitchen garden. On inspection in 1999 this was found to be a sunken rectangular area (max. 22.7m N-S; 21m E-W) and is most likely related to the gardens of Port House.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record CL025-234
