Ecclesiastical enclosure in Enniscoffey or Caran

Possible ecclesiastical enclosure identified by Swan (1988, 12) who recorded that there was evidence of a possible enclosure in the quadrantal form of the boundary wall of the graveyard (WM033-031001-). Earthworks described in 1977 as following; ‘to the N & S of the graveyard low banks can be seen, running in an arc from the NW corner of the wall to the field bank & on the S enclosing a no. of small subrectangular encloures. There is no indication of any features to the E of the field bank’ (SMR file 16/06/1977). The curving arc of this earthwork running from the NW corner of the graveyard wall may form part of a possible ecclesiastical enclosure. Compiled by: Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 24 August 2015
