Enclosure in Knocklough

Situated on a broad shelf at the bottom of the E-facing slope of a prominent hill known as Slieve Gullion. A circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) defined by what appears to be a fosse is visible on Google Earth (05/10/2009) but not on subsequent dates. It is also faintly visible on MapGenie images (1995) but not on other series. Nor is it depicted directly on any OS map, although a SE-NW laneway on the 1908 edition of the OS 6-inch map diverts to the E to avoid this feature. The ditch-barrow (ME015-132----) is c. 50m to the E, and both features were first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.
