What is recorded here
Enclosure in Ballybar Lower is a circular earthwork in County Carlow, Ireland, with a broad bank and external fosse about fifty metres across. It may be a ringfort, though no standing wall or door remains visible. The field has kept its shape long enough for crops to reveal the buried line, suggesting people once drew a clear boundary around a small life.
The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
