Enclosure in Kilmainham (headford)

Enclosure

What is recorded here

Situated on a slight S-facing slope in a gently undulating landscape. The cropmark of a subcircular enclosure (dims c. 35m N-S; c. 30m E-W) defined by a fosse that is only traceable SW-NW and NE-SE is only visible on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International during June 2018. The ditch of the large wood that is marked on the 1836 and 1908 editions of the OS 6-inch map cuts this enclosure at NW. The rectangular enclosure (ME017-064001-) is c. 5m to the NW. It was first reported by Anthony Murphy. See the attached enhanced aerial view from Apple Maps Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 27 January 2020
