Enclosure in Raheen Lower — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

In improved, slightly undulating pasture, on a SE-facing slope. A sub-oval/irregular-shaped area (dims. 20m N-S; 16m E-W) defined by scarp (Wth 4.5m; H 1.55m) and outer fosse (Wth 7.6m; D 0.2m) from ESE-SSW. The fosse is cut by a field boundary running NW-SE along the SW edge and it has been modified and backfilled in places from NW-N. The scarped edge of the monument has been quarried into at the NW and NE. The quarry depression (dims. 8m NW-SE; 4m NE-SW; D c. 1m) at the NE is depicted as a small circular feature on the 1904 edition OS 6-inch map and may be a former pond. The interior has a gentle E-facing slope and there is a possible entrance at the E. The field boundary to N has been removed. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
