Enclosure

What is recorded here

The enclosure in Streamstown (leyny By., Streamstown Ed) is in County Sligo, Ireland. It occupied a southeast-facing ridge slope in pasture, measured about ten metres across, and sat fifty metres south of another circular enclosure. Although not visible today and likely lost to quarrying, both the 1838 and 1914 maps recorded its distinct circular shape.
In pasture, on a SE-facing slope of a ridge. The enclosure is not visible at ground level and appears to have been destroyed by quarrying. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular grove of trees abutting a line of trees along a field boundary. On the 1914 OS 6-inch map it is indicated as a hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 10m). There is a circular enclosure (SL032-144----) c. 50m to N in the same field. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
