What is recorded here
Indicated is a subcircular earth and stone enclosure on a slight rise in County Clare, sitting 95m SW of Glensleade Castle with commanding views from SE to NE. Its southern curve still shows on the 1916 map as a field boundary, while a drystone wall now overlays part of the spread. The scarp rises 0.6 to 1m, with stone visible in its NE fabric, marking a multiperiod landscape where pasture, boundary and memory keep overlapping.
