What is recorded here

Enclosure in Carrowneden (costello By., Aghamore Par.) was a small rectangular stone-and-earth chamber beside a cashel in County Mayo, recorded in 1984 but destroyed during land reclamation before 1990. It measured six metres north-south and five and a half metres east-west, with two corners touching a curving field wall that led toward the cashel. The chamber is gone now, yet its shape still emerges in the story: a modest room set into living limestone, perhaps for storage, ritual or domestic use, erased when the land was taken back for pasture.

In average pasture in undulating limestone terrain, abutting a field wall (MA093-007005-) to NE of a cashel (MA093-007001-). This enclosure was recorded in 1984 (SMR file) but subsequently destroyed during land reclamation in late 1980's/early 1990's. It was described as a small rectangular enclosure (6m N–S, 5.5m E–W) outlined by a low bank of stones and earth. The SW and SE corners of the enclosure intersected with short projections from a curving field wall (MA093-007005-) that connects at SW with the enclosing wall of the cashel (MA093-007001-). No trace of this enclosure is now evident at ground level. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 14 June 2022
