What is recorded here
Cloghna in County Carlow holds a circular enclosure immediately west of a possible ringfort. Aerial photography reveals the shape while ground-level traces have vanished. The land may have swallowed a boundary marked for livestock, ceremony or residence. Whatever it enclosed, grass and rain erased the edge while shadow and depth preserved the circle above.
Immediately W of possible ringfort (CW012-009001-), circular enclosure visible on aerial photographs (CUCAP BGH 32-3; GB91.DY. 02). No visible traces at ground level.
