What is recorded here

Enclosure in Rineanna North is a possible D-shaped enclosure in County Clare, Ireland, with a broad grassed bank and a straight SE side about 36m long. It lies low among rock outcrops and brambles, close enough to an unclassified ringfort for the two places to feel like neighbours in a forgotten landscape. A farm track still cuts through it, suggesting the earth was never fully released from human use.
