Enclosure in Rannagh (tulla Upper By.)

On a SE-facing slope, in pasture and overlooking a valley floor to SE and undulating landscape in the vicinity. There is higher ground to N and E. The monument is depicted on the 1840 edition OS 6-inch map as an oval area (c. 27m NE-SW; c. 15m NW-SE) and on later OS mapping as a sub-oval area (25m NW-SE; 22m NE-SW). This is a roughly oval area (c. 22m NW-SE; c. 20m NE-SW) defined by the remains of a low, eroded bank (int. H 0.65m; ext. H 0.55m; overall Wth 4.25m) which is present intermittently NE-SE, where it is largely clear of vegetation. A bank (int. H 1.6m; ext. H 0.25m; Wth at top 0.5m; overall Wth 3.8m) is evident SE-NE, where it is largely obscured by vegetation. The interior is bowl shaped and is cut into the hillslope on the western side, where it is obscured by dense vegetation. The following images have been uploaded: CL035-065----_01.jpg From E.
