Enclosure in Ballyganner South

Enclosure

What is recorded here

Enclosure in Ballyganner South is an 11m ring on a gentle N-facing Clare slope, still visible in modern imagery though grass has softened its edge. It sits within a large multiperiod field system, not alone, suggesting the land has been divided, reused and remembered across several ages. A ring-cairn lies 160m to the west, perhaps a marker or companion, while the enclosure itself may have held a hut, a shrine, a pen or a promise. Whatever it was, the slope kept its shape long after the hands that made it stopped pressing against the earth.
On a gentle N-facing slope in an undulating area of improved pasture and scrub within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-059001-). An enclosure (diam. c. 11m) defined by a bank or grassed-over wall visible on Digital Globe (2011-2013) and on OSi orthophotography (MapGenie 2013-2018). A ring-cairn (CL009-190----) lies c. 160m to the W. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 29 March 2023
