What is recorded here
Enclosure is the act of fencing off shared land and taking it from everyone. The word appears in several histories because the act repeated in several places. Whether the fence served one household or one nation, the result was the same. The common loss is the interesting part.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ENCLOSURE - RATH?. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
