What is recorded here
Enclosure in Caherfadda is a small subcircular stone circle in County Clare, Ireland. Its collapsed wall still stands ten metres across on a west-facing slope, with some long stones tilted inward as if pointing to a missing centre. It sits among rough pasture and other ancient markers, preserving the shape of a place people once drew around themselves.
In a fold on a W-facing slope, in rough pasture within a multiperiod field system (CL009-166001-). This small subcircular enclosure (int. dims. 11m NW-SE; 9m NE-SW) is defined by a grass-covered collapsed stone wall (Wth 1-1.5m; H 0.2-0.4m). Some stones in the wall appear to be placed with their long axis pointing toward the centre of the enclosure. Other enclosures (CL009-196001- and CL009-252----) lie c. 27m to the S and c. 40m to the NNE respectively. There is a cairn (CL009-196002-) c. 30m to the WNW.
