Dotted outline, Glebe

Probable early medieval ecclesiastical enclosure (diam. c. 160m) of the church of 'Kaiterbristelan' [Caher Breslayn] depicted as the boundary of Glebe land on 1st ed. OSi 6-inch map. This enclosure may have been the 'Caher' element of the church name listed in the 1302 papal taxation of the Diocese of Ardfert (Cal. doc. Ire.; King 1986). Enclosure described by O'Hare (2000) as follows; 'The outline of a large, roughly circular enclosure (diam. approx. 155m), comprising Glebe land, is clearly depicted on OSi first edition, lying immediately to the south of Brosna village.'
