Radiating from the exterior of enclosure (CL035-162----) at S, SW, NW, NE and E. The remains of low, collapsed sod covered walls. Identified on satellite imagery (https://binged.it/2mwI57e; accessed 6 March 2017). The wall (H at E side 0.2m; H at W side 0.3m; Wth at top 1m; overall Wth 3.15m) extends (long axis N-S; L c. 12m) from the enclosure to S, where it is truncated by the Ennis to Scarriff regional road (R532). A second wall (L c. 40m) extends (long axis NE-SW) from the enclosure at SW. Traces of a third wall extend (long axis NW-SE; L c. 28m) from the enclosure, to NW and a fourth wall extends (long axis NE-SW; L c. 16m) to NE. A fifth linear wall extends (long axis ENE-WSW; L c. 22m) from the enclosure at E and intersects with a sixth wall (long axis NW-SE; L c. 35m) at an acute angle. These walls and those of enclosure (CL035-162----) appear to be contemporary. There are numerous other undulations in this vicinity particularly to NE of the enclosure, some of which may be associated with the field system, whilst others appear to be slightly meandering seems of rock outcrop rising close to the surface. The following images have been uploaded: CL035-162001-_01.jpg From S. Cross-sectional view of sod covered wall at S. LC035-162001-_02.jpg From SW. Ridge (long-axis c. N-S) extending from area to SW of enclosure (CL035-162----). CL035-162001-_03.jpg From E. Cross-sectional view of sod covered wall to immediate E of enclosure (CL035-162----).
