Enclosure in Toberdaly

Aerial photo (GSI N 546/545) indicates two rectangular shaped and one circular enclosure. N rectangular enclosure not to be seen at surface level, SE one appears as a slightly raised rectangular area but is unlikely to be of archaeological interest. The circular site (OF011-019001-) is a slight mound (diam c. 20m, max H 0.75m). May possibly be a barrow or merely a natural feature since it is not well defined. On good pasture land beside a drainage stream to the west and high bog to the south. This site consists of a sub-rectangular area enclosed by a bank on average 0.5m high and between 4.5m to 3m in width. The interior has a slight indulation in a NE/SW direction. The maximum NS diameter is 45m while the maximum EW diameter measures 34m. Close to the bank on the western side is a masonry ramp which allows access to the stream. This site is located near to the Grand Canal and may in fact be contemporary with the building of the canal.
