What is recorded here
ENCLOSURE is the act of seizing common land and denying people their ancient rights to use it. The practice spread through England after 1066, accelerated by feudal lords and later parliamentary acts, causing widespread protest and social harm. Efficiency was the excuse; profit and control were the truth.
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.
