What is recorded here
Enclosure in Tullycommon is a grassed-over ring on a steep Clare ridge, preserving a circular wall thirty-four metres across beside older field boundaries. It is not a vague shadow but a shaped residence, possibly a home or stronghold, set among many cashels and hut sites still visible on the same shoulder of land. The ridge may have been a crowded neighbourhood, with people moving between enclosed yards, pastures and small dwellings under open western skies.
On a NW-facing shoulder of a steep NE-SW ridge, within an extensive field system (CL010-064001-). A subcircular enclosure (c. 34m N-S; c. 32m E-W) defined by a grassed-over wall, visible on OSi MapGenie orthophotography (2013-2018). A possibly contemporary field wall extends W from the W perimeter and an enclosed area abuts the site at SW. Many ringforts and cashels occupy the same ridge. A subrectangular cashel (CL010-064066-) lies c. 86m to the NE and a hut site lies c. 90m to the NNW.
