Enclosure in Aughnagomaun

Enclosure

What is recorded here

In grassland atop low hillock in flat pasture with good views in all directions, poorly drained land to the SE. The 1st (1840) ed. 6-inch OS map suggests that the enclosure (diam. c. 38m) originally continued N of the field boundary which transects it from NW-SW. The S section of the enclosure, as indicated on the 1953-4 ed. 6-inch OS map, consists of a flat-topped platform (H 1.2m; dims. 18m N-S; 9m E-W) enclosed by a bank (base Wth 2m; top Wth 1m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 1m) now mainly reduced to a scarp intersected by a field boundary at N and E which destroys the platfrom on these sides as a result the platform only survives from S through W to NW with traces of a shallow outer fosse (Wth 2m; ext. D 0.2m) at base of platform. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
