What is recorded here

Enclosure in Williamstown is a circular bank about 55m across in County Carlow, Ireland, with a slight interior dip still visible. It may have been a ringfort, though no certain event or date is attached to it. The shape suggests people lived, worked or kept something inside the bank, while the faded line leaves the exact purpose open to imagination.
The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Shown on 1908 'OS 6-inch' map as circular enclosure defined by bank, (max. diam. c. 55m). Slight dip, probably former interior, is visible. Possibly a ringfort.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
