Enclosure in Trusk — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

This enclosure is indicted on the 1836 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 15), named ‘Fort’. Inspected in the early 1980’s, it was recorded as follows: ‘An arc of an enclosing bank or wall 15m long, c. 2m wide and .1m high is all that survives of the 'Fort' marked on the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS maps. The bank remains are of soil but the boggy rocky terrain suggests that the site may have been a cashel. The area has been extensively afforested.’ (Lacy 1983, 216, no. 1396). The enclosure has since been destroyed by quarrying. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of revised upload: 26 July 2019
