What is recorded here

Enclosure in Raheen (forth By.) is a vanished circular enclosure, possibly a ringfort, in County Carlow, Ireland. It measured about forty metres across on the 1839 map, but plantations and ground cover have hidden it from modern view. It may still exist beneath undergrowth, waiting for someone to scrape back the green and reveal its shape.

The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Shown on 1839 'OS 6-inch' map as circular enclosure (max. diam. c. 40m). In plantation with ground cover. No trace noted, but some traces may exist in undergrowth. Possibly a ringfort.
