What is recorded here
Enclosure in Termon is a subcircular stone bank in a stony field north of Templecronan church, County Clare. Its eastern edge holds roughly cut boulders rising forty centimetres above the lower outside ground, while a raised platform in the south-west quadrant still hides part of the bank. House platforms lie scattered north of it, suggesting this was not a lonely marker but a small inhabited place where people lived, worked and perhaps argued about whose turn it was to carry stone.
In an undulating stony field immediately N of Templecronan church (CL010-021002-). A subcircular area (int. dims. 14m N-S; 8.5m E-W) defined by a bank of mostly stone and some earth. Some roughly cut boulders form an internal stone facing at E (H 0.4m) and the external ground level is much lower. A slightly raised platform in the SW quadrant obscures the bank in this portion. There is a small extension attached at E defined by banks. A number of house platforms (CL010-021012-) lie to the N in the same field.
