Enclosure in Ballyconra

In flat undulating lowland, in pasture. A square annexe/enclosure (dims. c. 40m NW-SE) identified by geophysics (Nicholls 2017 unpublished Geophysical report; Deery and Crowley 2017 unpublished EIS) carried out in advance of a proposed solar farm. One of a number of enclosures (KK004-043----; KK004-044----; KK004-045----; KK004-047----; KK004-048----; KK004-049----; KK004-050----; KK004-051-; KK004-052---- and KK004-054----) identified in the vicinity by geophysics. It adjoins a similarly sized, though better defined, square enclosure (KK004-052----) to the E. The annexe is formed by a continuation, on a slightly different alignment, of the N side and of the S side, the latter on the same alignment, of the eastern enclosure. The W side of the annexe is not clearly defined, it may have been formed by a field boundary which runs NW-SE along the W side and continues northward. The SE quadrant of the annexe and the SW quadrant of the eastern square enclosure overlie an earlier enclosure (KK004-044----). The monument is not visible at ground level.
