Enclosure in An Doire

Enclosure

What is recorded here

Located on a gentle S-facing slope in wet, boggy pasture. A stream skirts the S and W side of the enclosure. Not shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map but indicated on the 1920 edition. Listed in the 1996 RMP on the basis of a rectangular enclosure visible in an aerial photograph (GSI M 186 -5; Roll 198, pr. 24). A field inspection in 1990’s determined it to be a field or garden plot of relatively recent date, consisting of a roughly square area (25m N-S; 23m E-W) defined by an embankment (H 0.3-0.6m).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record MA116A001
