Enclosure in Kyle (imokilly By.)

Enclosure

What is recorded here

Kyle enclosure in County Cork is a small circular ditch visible only when dry soil shadows the grass. It sits beside a possible ringfort in level farmland, suggesting people shaped the land before tools could cut through memory. The ditch may have kept out wolves, marked a family claim, or simply enclosed a garden where love and hunger both needed walls.
In level tillage. Cropmark (CASAP) shows small univallate circular enclosure a short distance to E of possible ringfort (CO067-017---). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
