Enclosure

What is recorded here

In undulating, cleared pasture. Shown on 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure, and on the 1929 OS 6-inch map as a roughly oval walled enclosure (diam. c. 40m N-S; c. 35m E-W) with the interior bisected slightly to NE of centre by a wall on a NW-SE axis. Also recorded in an aerial photograph (GSI M 118 -9; Roll 198, pr. 29) (SMR file). Levelled; no visible trace. In An Archaeological Survey of Ballinrobe and District (Lavelle 1994; p. 51, no. 342) an oval-shaped mound of clearance material (diam. 38m; H 2.3m) is recorded as occuping the site, possibly overlying the remains. In fact, the mound lies c. 45m to SE of the enclosure. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 5 November 2013
