Enclosure in Srowland, County Kildare (KD035-001----)

Enclosure

What is recorded here

In tillage on a level W-facing terrace, to the SW of which the ground falls gently away to the SE-flowing River Barrow. Both editions of the OS 6 inch map (1841 and 1939) indicate a large circular area (est. diam. c. 200m) defined from SE to N by curving field boundaries which contrast with the uniformly rectilinear field pattern in the area. Land improvement has resulted in the removal of the boundaries from S to N and in the culverting of a small stream which also defined the enclosure SE to S. (CUCAP BDO 44, 1970).

Enclosure in TyrrellstownEnclosure · 901 yd

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Tyrrellstown is a rectangular earthwork that had a massive feud with the next village over something daft. It has an internal division because it’s organised. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.

Explorer Tom Moatstown House in Moatstown has a local who claims he invented the concept of a miller’s house, which is quite something. The Georgian proportions are graceful enough to make you want to bow slightly when you pass it. Perfect place to daydream about simpler times!

Woodstock Castle (in Ruins)Castle, hall-house · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Woodstock Castle would be a disaster on a reality show, too proud to admit it’s damp. Richard de St. Michael built it to look down on the river. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.

Explorer Tom Scots Pine here is having a go at being famous because some other pine got the credit years ago. It’s basically the cousin who shows up to weddings uninvited. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.
