What is recorded here

Tony Miller found a curved wall of contiguous slabs on a boggy plateau in Shehy Beg, high enough to exclude livestock but perhaps incomplete. The rock outcrop loomed north while open ground dropped east, suggesting the site watched rather than hid. People may have built it to claim land, mark a garden, or keep something out during wet centuries. Its shallow curve still leans into that old purpose, waiting for rain or memory to finish the shape.

This possible enclosure was reported to the Archaeological Survey of Ireland by Tony Miller on 28th January 2013. He describes it as follows: "This site is immediately south of a high rock outcrop, on a small plateau of rough grazing and bog overlooking open ground to the east. It consists of a curved section of wall built of contiguous slabs with a maximum height of c. 0.8m and a length of c. 10m. This wall could either be an unfinished or partially destroyed length of field boundary or enclosure wall. I would favour the latter as it has a similar look to the two previous enclosures described (CO093-099---- & CO093-101----)" Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 31 January 2013
