Enclosure

What is recorded here

Indicated is an enclosure in Ballybrogan, County Roscommon, Ireland. The D-shaped stone wall spans about 25 metres east-west and 20 metres north-south on aerial photographs, linking it to abandoned houses marked on the 1837 and 1915 Ordnance Survey maps. It sits on a south-facing slope, remains hidden in reclaimed pasture at ground level, and probably dates from the post-medieval period. Two cashels stand nearby, one 100 metres north and the other 130 metres northeast.
