Enclosure in Limepark North

Enclosure

What is recorded here

In rough level pastureland. Marked on the OS 6-inch maps as a subrectangular enclosure (c. 35m N-S; c. 25m E-W) planted with trees. On inspection in October 1982 it was completely overgrown and access was almost impossible. However, traces of a circular stone wall (Wth c. 2.5m) built of large limestone blocks were visible. Possibly a cashel but it may also have been a designed landscape feature associated with Lime Park demesne. Aerial photography (Osi digitalglobe) indicates that it has since been cleared away and no visible surface trace survives.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA114-111
