ENCLOSURE

ENCLOSURE, rath? or tree ring?

What is recorded here

Enclosure in County Derry is a shadow of a circle, perhaps a rath or perhaps a tree ring, waiting for a human answer. It may have been a home, a boundary, or a mark made by roots rather than hands. The land keeps both possibilities alive, refusing to choose between human making and natural growth.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ENCLOSURE - rath? or tree ring?. 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.
