What is recorded here

Enclosure in Annagh North is a slightly raised oval, 18m long, wrapped in a low earthen bank beside a ringfort on Annagh bog. Sheep and cattle have gnawed gaps through the boundary, turning a deliberate enclosure into a broken circle of grass and memory. The land still holds the shape of hands that stacked soil against the wet dark.

In southern portion of Annagh bog, c. 22m to E of bivallate ringfort (12036). Depicted as hachured mound on 1936 OS 6-inch map. Oval slightly raised area (18m NW-SE; 14.5m NNE-SSW) enclosed by low earthen bank (int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.4m), with external fosse (D 0.2m) to S and N. Break (Wth 1.2m) in bank to SE; numerous gaps in bank worn down due to animal activity. Bank and interior grass-covered; interior surface uneven.

In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
