What is recorded here

Indicated occupies a shallow karst depression in County Clare, marked as a fort on maps before inspection revealed a modern drystone enclosure rather than an ancient fort. Its twelve-metre subrectangular form stands out in the flat open land, inviting people to project history onto a recent boundary. The place turns identification itself into a game, showing how quickly a line on a map can become a story about time.

Situated in a flat area of open karst. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). Indicated as ‘fort’ on a set of annotated maps in 1994 (pers. comm. T. Coffey, SMR file). On inspection in 1999 this was found to be a subrectangular enclosure (diam. c. 12m) of apparently modern construction defined by a drystone wall.
