Enclosure in Grangebeg,milltown Britton

On flat ground at the base of gentle SW-facing slope surrounded by pasture. Enclosure not marked on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map and indicated as a roughly semi-circular enclosure on the 2nd (1906) ed. A townland boundary runs NW-SE through the S-SW sector and the enclosure is not depicted S of this boundary. It appears as a semi-circular cropmark on an aerial photograph (GSI S.639/40, 16-4-1974). The monument was inspected in 1982 and is described as being levelled. The field boundaries immediately N and E of the enclosure have been removed. Some of the debris from this clearance appears to have been dumped in the area of the enclosure. This area is now fenced off using an electric fence and has become overgrown with scrub. The bank of the enclosure is not discernible, though some vestiges of it may survive beneath the dumped material. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
