What is recorded here

Enclosure in Termon is a kidney-shaped settlement on the northern edge of the Termon plateau in County Clare, Ireland. Its mound walls still break the grass, reach north and south, and circle a space large enough for several lives to overlap. Smaller enclosures sit close beside it, suggesting a neighbourhood rather than a lonely house. People may have lived there across generations, using the plateau for keeping animals, growing food, and marking their own presence on the land.

On the N end of the Termon plateau just S of the Glen of Clab and within a field system (CL006-217----) extending all over the plateau. This is the central enclosure in an area of settlement described by Keegan (2016). A kidney-shaped enclosure (50.25m E-W; 37.93m N-S) (ibid., 89-92) visible on Digital Globe (2011-13) and on OSi Aerial Premium (2012-2018). Mound walls extend off the enclosure to N and S. A small enclosure (CL006-155----) lies c. 8m to the E and another (CL006-156----) is c. 15m to the SW. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 24 November 2021
