Enclosure in Tullycusheen Beg

In rough, rush-grown damp pasture, in generally lowlying, poorly drained terrain. Slightly raised, oval area (30m N−S; 22m E−W) defined by remnants of a bank (Wth c. 2m), largely reduced to a scarp (ext. H 0.5-0.6m), and enclosed by a fosse which is evident as a shallow depression (Wth c. 2m; ext. D 0.3m). The bank retains a slight internal rise or lip in parts at S and at W−N. There are several eroded sections or gaps: at W (Wth 2m), at NNE (Wth c. 3m), at E (Wth c. 4m), at SE (c. 1.5m). The fosse is very shallow/poorly defined in parts at E and S but no clearly defined causeway is evident. The interior is level. In the NE quadrant, a low, upright stone (L 1.1m NW−SE; max. T 0.25m; H 0.45m) protrudes from the ground. It leans sharply to SW. Immediately adjacent on its W side, another stone (L 1.35m NW−SE; Wth 0.6m) lies concealed beneath the grass. The field is planted with forestry but an exclusion zone protects the enclosure. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 9 December 2016
