Enclosure in Kilweelran — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Kilweelran’s ridge enclosure spans 160m east-west and 120m north-south, shaped by a mound wall whose northern half curves like a deliberate arc while the southern half submits to the land. A modern wall now traces part of that ancient line, and a large cairn watches from thirty metres west. The possibility of a house site near the centre suggests people lived inside or beside this boundary, not merely past it.

On an elevated ridge, just south of the Dangan and Kilweelran townland boundary. Listed as a ‘Potential Site Air Photo’ in the RMP. A large irregularly shaped enclosure (160m E-W; 120m N-S) defined by a mound wall. Its northern half forms an arc, but its southern half follows the local topography. A modern wall is built on its line from S to W. A possible house site (CL005-060003-) lies just N of centre. A large cairn (CL005-060001-) overlooks it from c. 30m to the W. A smaller enclosure (CL005-061----) is located c. 100m to the E. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Ros Ó Maoldúin Date of upload: 6 July 2022
