Enclosure in Barney, County Longford

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

What is recorded here

Immediately to the NW of a rath (LF019-088----). A semicircular enclosure (c. 33m NE-SW; c. 23m NW-SE) defined by a partially denuded, low bank of earth and stone. A report in 1976 (SMR file) indicates that there was formerly a shallow external fosse. The original entrance is not recognisable. The relationship between the rath and the enclosure is unclear; the latter may be an annexe or later feature.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record LF019-088001
