Enclosure in Borrismore

On a broad NW-SE terrace along the SW side of Clomaneagh Hills, in fairly flat reclaimed pasture. There are good views along the terrace and very good views to the W and SW across the low-lying valley plain. A poorly preserved enclosure, consisting of a sub-rectangular area (diam. 40m NE-SW; 35m NW-SE) defined by a bank (Wth c. 1.5m; int. and ext. H 1.5m), which only survives in the N and W quadrants, and there is a slight suggestion of an external fosse (Wth 2.5m; D 0.1m). The SE quadrant has been truncated by a field boundary running NE-SW. There is a broad shallow ramp in the NE quadrant which may be the remains of an entrance. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 15 May 2019
