Enclosure in Kilree (knocktopher By.)

A polygonal enclosure (dims. c. 60m E-W widening to c. 70m towards the S; c. 65m NNW-SSE) indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map as having five unequal straight sides, with a small wooded square enclosure occupying much of the NW-W portion of the interior and a lime kiln on the edge of the monument at the SE angle. On the 1947 revision of the OS 6-inch map the enclosure is indicated as a roughly oval enclosure (dims. c. 56m N-S; c. 70m E-W) though the W-NW sector is not indicated and the monument is enclosed by field boundaries. Between 1947 and 2005 (Google Earth satellite imagery, 20 November 2005) the monument was levelled, as were the field boundaries to the S and W. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 July 2021
