Enclosure in Solloghodbeg

In wet, marshy, flat terrain.A raised oval area (diam. 21.4m N-S; 17.3m E-W) enclosed by a low broad bank (Wth at crest 1.5m; overall Wth 3.2m; H above int. 0.2m; H above fosse 0.55m), largely reduced to scarp, and a shallow flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 3.2m; D 0.2m). There is an entrance (Wth 4m) in the S quadrant with a possible causeway over the fosse, however, there appears to have been some ground disturbance in this quadrant which may have resulted in bank material slipping into the fosse. In the interior there is a slightly raised area (dims. 8m N-S; 6m E-W; H 0.15m) in the W sector, the interior N of this has a number of flag irises growing which suggests this can be quite wet. A field drain (Wth 3m) runs N from the N section of the fosse. There is a gap (Wth 2.5m) in the bank in the NW quadrant. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 22 March 2012
