Enclosure in Ardshanbally

Enclosure

What is recorded here

A hidden enclosure in Ardshanbally, County Limerick, lies on a slight west-facing pasture slope beside the River Maigue, with a ringfort 95m to the north. No surface remains were visible when surveyed in 2000, and it does not appear on historic mapping or later satellite images. What is left is a ghost of a boundary, perhaps a farmyard, shrine or seasonal camp, now erased beneath grass and time.
