Enclosure in Murrooghkilly — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Murrooghkilly holds a small rectangular field on a remote southern terrace, watched by bare rock and scree on both sides. Its drystone wall still stands after centuries of wind and neglect, perhaps marking a medieval or older boundary within a forgotten landscape. The enclosure has no gate, house or road, yet it preserves the shape of human intention long after the hands that built it disappeared.

Situated in a remote level terrace on a S-facing slope with bare rock outcrop and scree upslope to N and downslope to S. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). An enclosure is marked on Tim Robinson's map of the Burren (1977). On inspection in 1997 this was found to be a small well-preserved field (c. 28m E-W; c. 18m N-S) defined by a single drystone wall of modern construction. The enclosure sits within a field system (CL002-003001-) that is likely to have medieval or prehistoric elements. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 30 November 2015
