What is recorded here

Enclosure in Barnasrahy is an enclosure in Barnasrahy, County Sligo, Ireland. Patrick O'Donovan recorded it in the SMR in 1989 as an Enclosure Possible because an aerial photograph showed a subrectangular shape with a low bank. The west and south sides remain visible, while a road and a house define the other two sides, leaving it impossible to tell whether the feature is a monument or a small field.

Listed in the SMR (1989) and classified 'Enclosure Possible'. Not included in the RMP (1995). Not indicated on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. Its inclusion in the SMR was based on the of a feature identifed from a high level aerial photograph (OS 1 3307-8, Roll 160, Pr. 25). Upon inspection no archaeological remains were identified. However this is visible on the OSi 2010 aerial photograph. It is comprises a subrectanglar feature of which only the W (present L c.37m) and the S (present L c.63.5m) sides are now visible. The enclosing element appears to be a low bank. The S side is slightly curvilinear in plan projecting out in a S direction. The N side is now defined by a road whilst the E side is defined by a house and garden. On the basis of the above evidence it is impossible to determine whether this is a monument or simply a small field. Compiled by: Patrick O'Donovan Date of upload: 01 October 2013
