Enclosure

What is recorded here

Enclosure in Doonard More is an enclosure in Doonard More, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies the crest at the west end of a low east-west drumlin ridge as a D-shaped grass-covered area. Earthen banks, a fosse and an outer bank define the perimeter, with an entrance through both banks at the east. The west edge is cut by the banks of rath RO023-18001-, which this site may have served as an annexe.
