What is recorded here

Ecclesiastical enclosure in Church Hill is an ecclesiastical enclosure in Church Hill, County Roscommon, Ireland. The D-shaped boundary measures approximately 70 metres east-west and 35 metres north-south around the church, with its straight edge facing north. A low scarp twenty-two metres east of the church may preserve part of the original enclosure, although archaeological testing at the western edge found no related material.

There is a D-shaped enclosure (dims c. 70m E-W; c. 35m N-S) around the church (RO007-038001-) which has the straight side at N, but there is no evidence of burial (RO006-038004-). A low scarp c. 22m E of the church may represent part of an original enclosure. Archaeological testing (19E0066) for a forestry road at the W edge of the field and immediately W of this feature produced no related material (Henry 2019: excavations.ie 2019:561).
