Enclosure in Ballinlegane (barrymore By.)

In tillage, on high ground on a gentle S-facing slope with extensive views. The soilmark of a roughly square enclosure is visible on an aerial photograph taken on 20 June 1993 of the proposed Glanmire-Watergrasshill Bypass (BKS Surveys Ltd no 26 049). A lighter band of soil enclosing a square area (c. 40 x 40m) forms the soilmark. A high crop of barley was growing in the field on the day of visit and there was no visible trace of the enclosure at ground level.
