Enclosure in Eaglehill

Enclosure

What is recorded here

On the S-facing slope of a hillock in undulating farmland. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 45m). On inspection in May 1983 no visible surface trace survived. Current aerial imagery (Google 2019) indicates that a small housing development has been built here.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA125-056
