Enclosure in Coolnatullagh (burren By., Carran Par.) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Enclosure in Coolnatullagh is an oval of two curving mound walls on a Clare plateau, leaving gaps at both ends instead of closing. That openness suggests entry, exit, invitation, or completion through landscape rather than human memory. The western wall extends toward a limestone scarp, as if directing someone downward into the valley. A wedge tomb lies nearby, reminding the enclosure that death and passage belong to the same place.

Just N of a limestone scarp on a plateau at the head of the Cappaghmore to Carron valley and within an extensive field system (CL006-042001-). Described by Carey (1999, 122) as an oval area (c. 10m N-S; c. 7m E-W) defined by two curving mound walls that do not meet at either N or S. The walls (H 0.2m; Wth 0.5m) survive as faint traces under grass. At S the western wall straightens and continues SSW for 5m towards the edge of the limestone scarp. A wedge tomb (CL006-042009-) lies c. 100m to the NW. Mound walls are evident c. 120m to the N. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 14 September 2021
