What is recorded here

Enclosure in Kilmaglin is a hidden ringfort in County Carlow, Ireland. Aerial photography reveals a circular area fifty-five metres across, surrounded by a broad bank and outer ditch, with another enclosed field attached at the edge. No walls remain visible, but the shape preserves the footprint of a defended home and its working land.

The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 8 July 2011 Aerial photograph (CUCAP BDO 56) shows very well developed cropmarks of almost circular area (est max. diam. c. 55m), enclosed by cropmarks of broad bank with external fosse. Field with similar bank and ditch enclosure, attached on E-S-W. No visible surface traces. Possibly a ringfort (CW017-001001-) with annexe.
