Enclosure in Fonthill — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Fonthill in County Carlow contains a hidden subrectangular enclosure. Two concentric fosses and a substantial bank once surrounded an area roughly ninety by sixty metres, but ground-level markers have vanished. The slight southern rise and absent shadows suggest the earth forgot its own boundary.

The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Aerial photograph (CUCAP BGH 35) shows subrectangular area enclosed by cropmarks of two concentric fosses and substantial bank (est max. dims. c. 90m N-S x c. 60m E-W). Viewed from S, site appears to rise very slightly but there are no other visible indications. Does not appear to be either ring-barrow or ringfort.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
