Enclosure in Ballyconnoe North

Enclosure

What is recorded here

Enclosure in Ballyconnoe North is a square stone chamber, twenty metres across, set into a NW-facing slope where rough pasture still brushes its grassed walls. It sits beside an oval enclosure and near Killeany Church, suggesting a lived landscape rather than a forgotten ruin. The stones may have marked a home, a shrine or a boundary, but their shape remains clear: a deliberate room built into the hillside, waiting to be remembered.
On a NW-facing slope in rough pasture and within a large field system (CL005-108001-). A square enclosure (c. 20m NE-SW) defined by a grassed-over stone wall except along its NW side where it is defined by an ancient field wall. Noted by Ros Ó Maoldúin. Visible on Digital Globe (2011-2013) and on OSi orthophotography (MapGenie 2013-2018). An oval enclosure (CL009-290----) lies c. 90m to the SE and Killeany Church (CL005-108003-) and graveyard (CL005-108004-) lie c. 90m to the NW. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 27 March 2023
