- KE038-115 Hilltop enclosure
Description
'Located on the north facing slope of Ash-Hill at an elevation of 60m this large sub-circular enclosure affords spectacular views of the Stacks Mountains to the north and of the Lee Valley between Ballycarty and Castleisland to the west and east respectively. The site was first noted on a black and white aerial photograph, however, since the photograph was taken in 1995 some field amalgamation and reclamation has taken place. The enclosing bank can only be traced intermittently around the site, particularly at the west, north-west and south. Elsewhere it has effectively been levelled and is difficult to distinguish. It is best preserved to the north where a section 0.57m in external height, 0.20m in internal height and 9.5m in width is visible. Elsewhere the bank is not as well preserved though its width where visible is between 8-10m. There are no identifiable features internally though field boundaries did cut the site and some of these have been removed. Internally the site measures 158m NE-SW and 129m NW-SE.'
