What is recorded here
Enclosure in Clashduff is a large sub-rectangular enclosure in County Cork that uses a rock face as its northern wall and stands about fifteen metres east of the hut site. Its repaired stones still rise a metre and a half on the eastern side, while an internal wall divides the space and leaves a central opening. The shape suggests people moved between two chambers rather than simply storing things, perhaps keeping heat, tools or company separate under the same sky.
Enclosure situated c15m east of the hut site. This is a large sub-rectangular enclosure that utilises a rock face to create the northern perimeter. It measures c10m N-S and c12m E-W. The walls are in quite good condition, showing signs of repair work, and survive to a height of c1.5m on the eastern side. C3m from the eastern side, a N-S wall creates an internal division, with an opening at its centre.
