What is recorded here

Enclosure in Poulbaun (inchiquin By.) stands elevated above an undulating karst landscape, yet by 1999 hazel scrub and reclaimed spoil had buried the crag where maps once marked a rath. The place still belongs to memory and marker lines, even when soil and branches erase its edge. What was enclosed there may have been a home, a boundary, or a warning about ownership itself.

In an elevated position in an undulating karst landscape. Hachured as a rath on the 1840 and 1920 OS 6-inch maps. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). On inspection in 1999 the area was found to be covered in hazel scrub. The area immediately to the W including a swallow-hole ‘Poulbaun’ had been reclaimed and a large amount of spoil had been pushed up against the crag where the site was indicated.
