What is recorded here
Enclosure in Rathbrenan is an enclosure in Rathbrenan, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies the crest of a southwest-facing slope on a broad northwest-southeast ridge. Knox recorded a fifty-metre east-west and twenty-four-metre north-south structure attached to the north of the rath, with earthen banks about one point two metres wide. The pasture no longer shows those banks at ground level.
