What is recorded here
Indicated is a modern stone enclosure near the western base of a steep ridge in County Clare, Ireland. Its narrow wall of loose stones circles twenty-five metres, while three small clearance cairns sit near the centre. The shape may have marked a boundary, excluded stock or simply gathered stones removed from nearby ground.
Situated near the W base of a steep ridge. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). Visible on an aerial photograph (GSIAP R 150). On inspection in 1999 this was found to be an enclosure (diam. c. 25m) of apparently modern construction defined by a narrow enclosing wall of loose stones. There are three small clearance cairns near the centre.
