What is recorded here

According to Sheehan (1982, 36) ‘Recently fieldwork at Termon has resulted in the discovery of an enclosure around the important early site at Temple Cronan’. A moss-covered curved boundary (Wth 4m; int. H 0.65m; ext. H 1.14m) with a later field wall on top extending S to SW c. 46m SW of the church (CL010-021002-) may represent the line of the enclosure.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record CL010-021001
