What is recorded here

Enclosure in Tullygullin is a large almost circular natural rock-outcrop mound in County Cavan, Ireland, standing about four metres high and twenty-seven metres across at its base. A low earthen bank and partially infilled fosse still curve around its north and east, while ploughing has reduced the south to a faint scarp. The mound may have been a dwelling, a refuge or a marker for a lost household, yet even without those answers it remains a made shape on the land, waiting to be remembered.
