Enclosure

What is recorded here

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 Subcircular area (55m SSE-NNW) enclosed from SE-W-N by stone wall with earthen core (H 1-1.3m) and elsewhere by scarp (max. H 2m) with drystone facing (completely collapsed in places). Gaps at SE and NNW and possibly blocked at N; original entrance not identifiable. Very overgrown. Monument appears to be largely modified and adapted to field system.

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