Enclosure in Sheans West

In improved pasture, on a N-facing slope. Reported to the Archaeological Survey of Ireland as a possible enclosure. Oval area (dims. 24m E-W; 16m N-S) defined by scarp ESE->S->WNW which is best defined SW->W (Wth 10m; H 1.6m). Scarp truncated by gently curving, deep land drain and densely overgrown field boundary WNW->N->ESE. Scarp levelled, yet traceable ENE->ESE. Interior is level and covered in mature hay. Noted as area of differential growth upon modern aerial photography (OSi 2010; Bing 2015). Poorly drained depression with yellow flags, in adjacent field to N. No potential feature evident upon historic mapping. Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 9 October 2015
