What is recorded here

Enclosure in Grange is a 25-metre circular ditch in County Kilkenny farm fields. It looks too sharp and new for antiquity, yet it is absent from both the 1839 and 1900 maps. That gap suggests a forgotten landscape trick: a ring dug for aesthetics, pride or concealment, then abandoned until satellites and planes read it back from the soil.

In tillage. Aerial photographs (GB89.T.11 and 14) show cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) defined by a fosse. The very fresh, precise appearance suggests that this is most likely to be a landscaping feature rather than an antiquity, though it is not indicated on either the 1st (1839) or 2nd (1900) ed. OS 6-inch map. Compiled by: Dr. Gillian Barrett for the Archaeological Survey of Ireland and Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 30 July 2018
