Enclosure in Turlough (costello By.)

This record was not recorded in the SMR (1991). It was listed in RMP (1997) as a possible ringfort on the basis of information received in 1993 from a local source (SMR file). This location consists of a field (c. 45-50m N–S; c. 30m E–W) of flat, featureless ground covered in rough grass and occasional clumps of willow scrub and brambles. To W and N the field is bordered by straight field boundaries outside which lie roads. On the E side of the field the ground drops into to pool/wet marshy ground surrounded by trees and scrub. On the S of the area, the ground level slopes down gently to an old, grass-covered E−W trackway/road. There is no trace of the reported 'earthen banks' and no convincing evidence that there is an enclosure/ringfort here. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 25 May 2022
