Enclosure in Millicent Demesne,millicent North — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Enclosure in Millicent Demesne, County Kildare, is a vanished D-shaped place on a steep NW-facing slope, possibly the E-half of a ringfort. The 1838 map still draws its field boundaries inside the wood, but the ground has been cleared and sown with corn. The nearby Church of Ireland church and graveyard, consecrated in 1883, may have taken the land from its older shape. What was kept there is no longer visible, only implied by the angle of the slope and the line still drawn on paper.

A D-shaped area is shown defined by field boundaries within a wood on the 1st ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map and may represent the E-half of a former enclosure, possibly a ringfort. However, this portion of the wood has been cleared and the area sown with corn' (SMR file, 1985). Near the top of a moderately steep NW-facing tillage slope. Not visible at ground level. The clearance of the area may have been associated with the construction of a Church of Ireland church and graveyard immediately to the S, which, according to a plaque, was consecrated in 1883.
