What is recorded here
Indicated is a lost circular enclosure in County Kilkenny pasture, recorded thirty metres east of a burial site and later obscured by trees and levelling. It may have marked a boundary, a garden, a ritual ground or a family claim. The land keeps its shape only through memory now, while the neighbouring graves still prove that people lived, died and belonged there.
In pasture. Indicated on the 1st (1839-40) ed. OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m), located c. 30m E of another similarly sized enclosure (KK019-040----) where a number of human burials (KK019-040001-) were uncovered. On the 1945-6 revision of the 6-inch map it is indicated as a roughly oval area outlined by a dashed line, with trees indicated in the interior. The monument appears to have been levelled as it is not visible on satellite imagery (Google Earth Pro, 20 November 2005 - 17 September 2019).
