Enclosure in Ballyvaheen

Enclosure

What is recorded here

On gradual E-facing slope in generally undulating terrain, under tillage. Enclosure (TS077-050----) would have been visible to S. Monument depicted as circular area (dims. c. 47.5m) on 2nd (1906) ed. OS 6-inch map. No visible trace of monument above ground. Enclosure showed up as a circular cropmark on aerial photograph (CUCAP July 1970 BDR 68), indicating the former fosse. A large gap in the fosse in the NE quadrant probably indicated a former causewayed entrance. There is a pond immediately W of the enclosure. The field boundaries to W and S have been levelled. A stream runs roughly N-S c. 150m E of the monument, at base of slope. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
