What is recorded here

Enclosure in Downings North is a small, crescent-shaped area attached to the south of a rath in County Kildare. Its boundary is partly the rath bank and partly a low scarp, with one surviving earthen bank at the southeast. The interior is heavily poached and rutted into a track, suggesting the place has long served passage rather than pride.

Attached to the S sector of a rath (KD013-010001-). A small, poorly preserved, crescent-shaped area (dims. 35m N-S; 30m E-W) is defined by the bank of the rath from NW-N-NE and elsewhere by a low scarp (H 0.4m) except at SE where a low, earthen bank survives (Wth 3.1m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.8m). The interior is heavily poached by livestock and deeply rutted by the passage of vehicles which has created a track NE-SW across the site.
