Enclosure in Merryfalls

Enclosure

What is recorded here

This monument was identified from geophysical survey (Licence no. 09R195) and confirmed by test excavation (Licence no. 10E0459) as part of the proposed Metro West development. It is a circular enclosure (30m diam.) characterised by a U-shaped ditch (1.1m-2.2m wide by 0.45m deep). Although undated its form, size and shape are consistent with that of a severely truncated early medieval ringfort (O’Donovan 2010, 16).
