This enclosure is indicted on the 1836 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 15), named ‘Fort’. Inspected in the early 1980’s, it was recorded as follows: ‘An arc of an enclosing bank or wall 15m long, c. 2m wide and .1m high is all that survives of the 'Fort' marked on the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS maps. The bank remains are of soil but the boggy rocky terrain suggests that the site may have been a cashel. The area has been extensively afforested.’ (Lacy 1983, 216, no. 1396). The enclosure has since been destroyed by quarrying. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of revised upload: 26 July 2019 Works at or in relation to a recorded monument need two months' written notice to the National Monuments Service (National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994, section 12). ## Architectural heritage (National Inventory of Architectural Heritage) No building of the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage stands in the townland of Trusk. ## Ground and risks (Radon Risk Map of Ireland, EPA; Landslide Susceptibility Classification and LiDAR, Geological Survey Ireland) - Radon: at the centre of the townland of Trusk, about 1 in 10 homes in this area is likely to have high radon levels.

A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
