Enclosure in Grange (smallcounty By.)

On rocky pasture on the summit Ardaghlooda, a rocky ridge overlooking Lough Gur, 90m W of the lake. The site is one of three enclosures on the hill (LI032-011001-/002/004-) within a dense concentration of archaeological monuments including standing stones (LI032-009/010002-). Enclosure (LI032-011001-) located 95m to SSW. The great stone circle at Grange (LI032-004001-) located 430m to SW. The site pre-dates a later historic field system (LI032-011003-) which overlies the enclosures (LI032-011001/002/004-). The historic road (LI032-010001-) known as 'Cladh na Leac' skirts around the W side of the hill 165m W of the enclosure. The site is not depicted on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch or on the 1897 ed. 25-inch maps. Outline of enclosure (diam. c. 25m) visible on Google Earth orthophoto taken 25/03/2017.
