What is recorded here

Enclosure in Aughris (tireragh By.) is an enclosure in Aughris (tireragh By.), County Sligo, Ireland. It lies in pasture at the west end of Aughris Head on level grassland that served as the 19th-century Ruball Sionnaigh racecourse. FitzPatrick described a sizable square enclosure defined by a stout bank but lacking an obvious fosse. The remains are no longer visible at ground level.

In pasture, located at the W end of Aughris Head, on a broad expanse of relatively level grassland which was used in the 19th century as a racecourse called Ruball Sionnaigh. The enclosure was recorded by FitzPatrick (2001, 91) as follows: 'On the flat ground between the large boulder on the cliff-line and the possible passage tomb [SL012-017001-] on the ridge, a sizable square enclosure (site 3), defined on all sides by a stout bank, but with no obvious traces of a fosse, shows up clearly on aerial photographs (Pl. II).' The remains are not visible at ground level and the point location for this record is based on that recorded on the schematic map (Ibid., Fig. 1, 68).
