Indicated

Enclosure

What is recorded here

Indicated is a partially collapsed drystone field beside a ringfort in County Clare, marked on a 1916 map but still visible in rough rock and patchy grazing. It belongs to a small cluster of enclosures around CL006-159----, where people likely kept animals, stored tools or marked territory before the wall gave way. The line drawn by a surveyor and the stones left behind point to the same thing: a lived edge on a gentle slope.
Situated on a gentle W-facing slope in an area of mixed rough rock and patchy grazing. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). Indicated by a solid line on the 1916 OS 6-inch map. On inspection in 1997 this was found to be an irregular field defined by a partially collapsed single drystone wall. This enclosed field is one of several forming a cluster to the N, E and SE of a ringfort (CL006-159----). Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 8 February 2016
