Enclosure in Kilkennybeg is an enclosure in Kilkennybeg, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies an irregular area measuring 40 metres from northeast to southwest and 32 metres from east to west on a northwest-facing slope. A degraded earthen bank, 2 metres wide and 0.2 metres high, remains visible only from the west through the north to the northeast side.

In grassland, situated on a NW-facing slope of rising ground in upland region overlooking river valley immediately to NW, higher ground to SE. Located on edge of ravine in a location similar to cliff edge forts. Irregular-shaped area (dims. 40m NE-SW x 32m E-W) roughly rectangular enclosed on two sides by a poorly preserved, much degraded, barely visible earthen bank (Wth 2m; H 0.2m). Bank only visible from W through N to NE. Depicted as a D-shaped enclosure on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map and as a partial enclosure on the 1903 ed. OS 6-inch map. Enclosure levelled on the upslope mainly with enclosing element only visible on the downslope. Originally may have been a cliff-edge enclosure (int. diam. 40m) which was partially levelled between 1840 and 1903. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
