What is recorded here

Enclosure in Cappoge is a subcircular ditch in a County Dublin field, not a castle or chamber. It measures about 69m by 73m, lies 990m NE of Cappoge Castle, and has been test-excavated. People may have kept livestock, marked a boundary or gathered for seasonal work there. The ditch still holds that shape because the land has not fully erased the choice made to dig it.
Located in an arable field, c. 990m NE of the site of Cappoge Castle (DU014-027----), differential vegetation growth forming a subcircular enclosure is visible on Google Earth imagery (24 June 2018). The enclosure (dims. c. 69m N–S and c. 73m E–W) is defined by a ditch (Wth c. 1m). Test excavations have taken place here in recent times.
