What is recorded here
Enclosure in Killeen is a roughly circular boundary, about 57m across, still visible near Killeen in County Kilkenny. It sits with three ringforts strung out to the northeast, like a small cluster of human marks on open ground. Whether it closed a field, a shrine or a household is no longer certain, but the shape remains: a circle drawn by people who wanted the land to remember them.
Indicated as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 57m) on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map and 1900 revision. There is a ringfort (KK018-056----) c. 150m to the NE and two ringforts (KK018-057---- and KK018-058----) c. 385m and c. 575m to the NE respectively.
