What is recorded here

The church of Kilbegly (RO054-027001-) is at the highest point of and towards the S of a subcircular enclosure (dims 108m N-S; 92m E-W) defined by an eroded earthen bank (Wth 4-6m; int. H 0.3-1.1m; ext. H 0.6-1.8m) reduced to a scarp (H 0.6m) SSW-W and with a fosse (Wth of top 5.6m; Wth of base 1.6m; int. D 1.8m; ext. D 0.6m) surviving at NE only. Two parallel banks 14m apart run E from the church to the enclosing bank which is surrounded by the wall of the graveyard (RO054-027002-). A geophysical survey undertaken in 2015 identified the ditch of the enclosure running outside of and roughly parallel with the graveyard wall at W, and a fallow area (Wth c. 30m) was left to protect it. Archaeological testing (18E0345) by Dominic Delaney & Associates W of the fallow area produced no related material (excavations.ie 2018:879).
