What is recorded here

Indicated was a sub-circular enclosure twenty to twenty-five metres across, perched on a low rise between the Fiddaunglass river and northern bog. It vanished from the landscape before the 1922 map captured its final shape, leaving only a faint circular undulation beneath a field fence. Children’s bones and an older rath lie nearby, suggesting the ground has long served life, death and memory.

In pasture, located on a low rise in undulating grassland bordered c. 300m to S by a small river, the Fiddaunglass, and by an expanse of lowlying boggy ground c. 300m to N. This enclosure is not shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map, but is shown on the 1922 OS 6-inch map as a sub-circular enclosure (diam. c. 20-25m) truncated on its SE edge into a linear NE–SW field boundary. It has been levelled; a barely discernible, roughly circular undulation, overlain at SE by a field fence, is visible. There is a rath (MA038-089001-) and children’s burial ground (MA038-089002-) 160m to SW. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 1 August 2019
