Enclosure in Bracknagh

Enclosure

What is recorded here

Enclosure (diam. c. 38m) formerly defined by a bank (ITA Survey 1942) and showing on aerial photo (CUCAP, BDU 15) but no longer visible since area is covered with modern grave plots. Marked as graveyard (OF027-010002-) on first ed. OS 6-inch map and depicted as a circular enclosure. Comerford (1883, 135) casts doubt on the antiquity of this graveyard and there appears never to have been a church (OF027-010003-) here. This enclosure is no longer visible and the graveyard is now enclosed by a modern wall. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 May 2011
