Enclosure in Ballyconra

In flat undulating lowland, in pasture. A square enclosure (dims. c. 40m NW-SE and NE-SW) identified by geophysics (Nicholls 2017 unpublished Geophysical report; Deery and Crowley 2017 unpublished EIS) carried out in advance of a proposed solar farm. One of a number of enclosures (KK004-043----; KK004-044----; KK004-045----; KK004-047----; KK004-048----; KK004-049----; KK004-050----; KK004-051-; KK004-053---- and KK004-054----) identified in the vicinity by geophysics. There is a clear entrance towards the W end of the S side. There is a similarly sized square annexe (KK004-053----) to the W formed by a continuation, on a slightly different alignment, of the N side and of the S side, the latter on the same alignment, however, this feature does not have a well-defined W side. The SW quadrant of the square enclosure and SE quadrant of the annexe overlie an earlier enclosure (KK004-044----). This monument is visible on Digitalglobe satellite imagery.
