What is recorded here

Enclosure in Caherelly East is a rectangular shadow in wet pasture, measured twenty-two by seventeen metres and visible only when grass growth differs. It lies thirty metres from another enclosure and sixty from a standing stone, yet no human hand drew it on official maps. The shape may have marked a boundary, a garden, a pen or a forgotten ritual, but the earth keeps that answer withheld. What is certain is that the place still holds an angle, and the angle still demands recognition.

On low-lying rough, wet pasture, cut by land drains and watercourses. Enclosure (LI023-039----) lies 30m to SW and standing stone (LI023-317----) lies 60m to SE. Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Identified as a roughly rectangular-shaped cropmark by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 143: AP 4/3691).
