What is recorded here

Indicated is a subrectangular enclosure in wet County Longford pasture, measuring forty by thirty-seven metres and bounded by a low denuded bank, shallow fosse and one living field edge. It resists memory and measurement because three sides have surrendered their height while the fourth still divides Cloghan from Castlerea Mountain. The missing entrance suggests either a changed boundary or a place never meant to be entered proudly.

On a very gentle NW-facing slope in low-lying, wet pasture. Not indicated on the 1837 or 1883 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. A raised subrectangular enclosure (c. 40m NNW-SSE; c. 37m ENE-WSW) enclosed along its SSE, WSW and NNW sides by a much-denuded low bank of earth and stone (Wth 2m; H 0.2-0.3m) and an external fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.2m). Along its ENE side it is defined by a field boundary, which forms the division between the townlands of Cloghan and Castlerea Mountain. The original entrance is not recognisable. This may be a relatively modern feature. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
