Enclosure in Boherygeela

Enclosure

What is recorded here

Boherygeela holds a forgotten enclosure in wet pasture, joining two entrenchments near a possible medieval road. The land has swallowed most of the stone and soil marks, leaving only a faint rectangular shadow in modern photographs. People may have lived, herded, or hidden there before the water and grass erased the edges. What remains is a suggestion rather than a monument, waiting for rain or memory to reveal its shape.
