What is recorded here

Enclosure in Ballynakelly is a d-shaped ditched camp in County Dublin, Ireland, measuring 52 metres east-west and 49 metres north-south. Aerial photographs taken in 2005 revealed the buried shape as a cropmark southeast of Newcastle village. The double ditch along the northwest and the causeway at the north-northwest suggest people entered and left the place on purpose rather than stumbling through it.

This d-shaped enclosure (Wth 52m E-W, 49m N-S) is evident as a cropmark on aerial photographs taken in 2005 SE of Newcastle village. There is evidence for a double ditch along the NW and an entrance causeway in the NNW (pers. comm. Siobhain Mc Dermott).
