Enclosure in Clonmorewalk is an enclosure in Clonmorewalk, County Tipperary, Ireland. The oval enclosure in Clonmorewalk measures 21 metres from northeast to southwest and 17 metres from northwest to southeast. It is defined by a 3.6 metre wide scarp and a 7.5 metre wide outer fosse that runs from north-northwest to northeast. The scarp is best preserved from southwest to northeast, while a field boundary cuts across the southwest and northwest sectors.

In improved pasture, on a gentle E-facing slope. Monument identified during ASI fieldwork. An oval area (dims. 21m NE-SW; 17m NW-SE) defined by scarp (Wth 3.6m; H 2.45m) and outer fosse (Wth 7.5m; D 0.4m) NNW-NE. The scarp is best preserved from SW-NE and has been further levelled (Wth 5.3m; H 0.25m) from NE-SW. A field boundary (long axis NNW-SSE) truncates the presumed arc of the fosse SW-NW. The interior has a gentle E-facing slope. The enclosure is depicted on the 1904 edition OS 6-inch map as an arc of hachures W-N and is truncated by a field boundary across the S and W sectors. According to local information, this is regarded as a 'fort'. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 24 October 2013
