What is recorded here

No visible trace at ground level, yet the OS Letters (1837) recorded a cluster of enclosures at Glenamuck on the north bank of the stream beneath the Ballycorus tower. They stood in level pasture, perhaps holding livestock or marking a boundary now erased by time and grass. The land keeps its own ledger, writing and deleting without warning.
A sketch accompanying the OS Letters (1837) shows a cluster of enclosures at Glenamuck (Herity 2001, 20). The enclosures were located in level pasture on the N bank of stream overlooked by the tower at Ballycorus (DU026-044001-). There is no visible trace at ground level. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout and Padraig Clancy. Revised upload on: 14 April 2018.
