Enclosure in Ardoyne

Located in a relatively flat location in a large tillage field (c. 91m OD) close to the centre of the modern field. Sited c. 400m SSE of an enclosure (WI042-001----), and c. 504m NNE of a ruinous church (WI042-003001-) and an associated graveyard (WI042-003002-), that are located within the same townland of Ardoyne close to the border with County Carlow. This enclosure, one of a number of cropmarks located within the same large field including a ring-ditch (WI047-029----) located c. 100m to the W\WNW, is clearly visible on Google Earth aerial photograph of the site (July 2021). It consists of a subcircular\oval feature (ext. dims c. 12.5m N-S E-W x c. 14.8m N-S) defined by a continuous ditch (Wth c. 1.5m) that can be traced along the entire circuit in the above aerial photograph. No evidence for an entrance gap. Compiled by: T.J. O'Meara based on details provided by Jean-Charles Caillère Uploaded on: 29/06/2023
