Enclosure in Mullamast

Enclosure

What is recorded here

Fifty-five metres of vanished border still holds its shape beneath the soil of County Kildare, waiting for dry summer air to reveal its edges. The land may have served ordinary farms or hidden a castle's inner life, yet human hands drew that line and later released it back to grass. Memory lives in the absence, forcing imagination to complete what forgetting removed.
Aerial photograph (CUCAP AYL 84) shows cropmark of a rectangular area (est. dims. c. 55m x c. 55m) defined by a fosse. Possibly an old field or might have been an enclosure associated a possible castle site (KD036-018----). No visible surface trace survives. Date of upload: 5 September 2016
