Enclosure in Loughboy

Enclosure

What is recorded here

In pasture. Indicated on the 1st (1839-40) ed. OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m), located c. 30m E of another similarly sized enclosure (KK019-040----) where a number of human burials (KK019-040001-) were uncovered. On the 1945-6 revision of the 6-inch map it is indicated as a roughly oval area outlined by a dashed line, with trees indicated in the interior. The monument appears to have been levelled as it is not visible on satellite imagery (Google Earth Pro, 20 November 2005 - 17 September 2019).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record KK019-041

Explorer Tom Birchfield House bridge has an imaginary twin across the sea that looks exactly like it. They probably wave to each other every evening without anyone noticing. Pack a picnic and an excuse for why you're there alone.

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Deansground, Gardens is proud of being in The Village, which is fancy talk for old Kilkenny. It thinks it's the coolest spot in town, and honestly, I can't argue. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.

Explorer Tom Almshouse in Gardens is sick of people asking if they can nap there for free. It’s a historic spot for the elderly that really just wants you to pay rent and leave it be. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.

Explorer Tom Sheela-na-gig in Gardens had a fox take charge of the graveyard once, and she just let him. She has the calmest face while doing all that staring. Dare you to say hello to it out loud.
