What is recorded here

Enclosure in Tinnaslatty (galmoy By.) is a lost fort in County Kilkenny, Ireland. Cobhthach's Fort gave Duncuff its name before the land took it back. A castle field still marks the place, suggesting the enclosure once stood near human ambition and memory.

Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 321) refers to, 'a plot eleven acres in extent, known in English as Duncuff, and in Irish as Dhooncuffa (Dún Chobhthaigh), that is Cobhthach's Fort. The Dun, from which the name is derived, was levelled long before anyone now living can remember'. The location of this monument within this townland is unknown. However, also within Duncuff, Carrigan (ibid.) refers to a castle within a field known as the 'castle field'. This field was identified during fieldwork in 1987. It is possible therefore, that this enclosure was located in the vicinity of this castle (KK004-031----). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 16 February 2016
