Enclosure in Scregg (costello By., Aghamore Par.) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Scregg holds a possible enclosure on a low Mayo ridge, though no wall or trench remains visible. The hidden line may have marked a boundary for pasture, a sacred circle, or a human attempt to shape the landscape into meaning. The surviving barrow confirms that people valued the place enough to shape it, while the missing enclosure denies them the chance of explanation.

In pasture, located on a low NW–SE ridge with a fall of ground to NE. Good views over the surrounding countryside. Listed as ‘enclosure –possible’ in the SMR (1991) and RMP (1997). A not in the SMR file sugguest that there may be an enclosure or ‘ritual hill’ here; no other details are given. There is no visible trace at ground level of an enclosure, but there is a mound barrow (MA082-013002-) here. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 20 December 2021
