What is recorded here
Enclosure in Ballintrane is a circular area about 45 metres across beside ringfort CW013-043---- in County Carlow. A depressed crescent separates it from the ringfort to the north, while its uneven interior rises to a high point south of the centre. It may have formed a courtyard, yard or boundary for the fort, though no surviving account names the people who walked it or the work it served.
The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
