Enclosure in Carnane

On a gently undulating ENE-facing slope, in pasture, with good views from NW-N and restricted elsewhere. The townland boundary with Arywee lies 280m to E. Monument is not depicted on OSi historic maps, although the area is occupied by a farmstead on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map. Identified as a large oval-shaped cropmark on Bruff Survey aerial photographs (Bruff 74: AP4/3705). Monument surveyed in 2000 by the ASI and described as a raised oval-shaped area (20m N-S; 16m E-W) defined by a scarp (Wth 3m; H 0.6m) which is higher on the downslope where it has been raised from N-E-S and is lower on the upslope from S-W-N. A field boundary runs across the site to N of centre. The interior has a gentle E-facing slope. Monument is visible as a substantial oval-shaped cropmark (106m ESE-WNW; 96m NNW-SSE) which is best preserved from ESE-S-W-WNW, on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-13 and on Google Earth orthoimages taken 06/02/2018.
