What is recorded here
Enclosure is an enclosure, large enclosure in Carrigeenagappul (roscommon By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a slight basin on a broad plateau, forming a circular grass-covered area roughly sixty-nine metres across. A slight earthen bank or scarp defines part of the perimeter, while a shallow fosse marks the southern edge. A field bank bisects the site, and a thirteen-metre entrance opens at the south.
