What is recorded here

Enclosure in Carrowgarve (roscommon By.) is an enclosure in Carrowgarve (roscommon By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. A D-shaped annexe measuring 77m NE-SW and 60m NW-SE sits on a gentle W-facing slope of the Carnfree ridge. A 0.3-0.5m scarp defines its boundary, attaching it to the NW of a rath and almost containing it. Field banks now cut through the enclosure and overrun both structures with a NW-SE bank.
