At the SE end of a large fertile valley at the N foot of Turlough Hill. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). A poorly preserved enclosure (est. diam. 270m) defined by a tumbled wall (Wth at N 2.8m; H 0.2-0.4m) traceable at N and S where later field boundaries follow its curving line. This enclosure encompasses the entire ecclesiastical complex at Oughtmama. A smaller enclosure (CL003-032001-) lies within enclosing the two closely associated more westerly churches (CL003-032002- and CL003-032003-). The area between the two enclosures, especially N of the churches has been subdivided into narrow striped fields. One wall acts as a townland boundary and extends from the inner enclosure to the outer. This may represent the line of an older internal subdivision.
