Enclosure in Carstown (ferrard By; Ballymakenny Par.)

Situated on a gentle E-facing slope. The cropmark of a subrectangular enclosure (dims c. 30m NNW-SSE; c. 30m ENE-WSW) defined by a fosses or drains is visible only on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International during 2018. There are faint traces of an internal D-shaped enclosure (dims c. 17m ENE-WSW; c. 15m NNW-SSE) at the S angle. The enclosure is at the focus of a field system (LH021-085002-) consisting of small, irregularly rectangular fields (dims c. 40m x c. 10-30m) defined by the cropmarks of single drains, which cover an area of about 5 hectares (c. 13 acres). The features were reported separately by Matthew Mullen-Reynolds and Anthony Murphy at about the same time. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 21 January 2020
