- KE059-010 Enclosure
Description
In level pasture, at the top of a S-facing slope. A raised square area (c. 35m N-S; c. 35m E-W), with rounded corners, defined by an earthen bank (int. H 0.1m; ext. H 2.6m). Some large boulders, possibly from field clearance, occur on the bank along the E and NW arcs. There are numerous gaps in the bank. The S half of the interior slopes down to the S. The enclosure is indicated as a circular area (diam. c. 38m) on the 1846 OS 6-inch map. It is outlined on the 1894 OS 6-inch map as a square area with a slightly curving W side and a hachured S side. It is visible in aerial photographs (GSIAP, V 396, W 447) taken in 1977 as a square earthwork with rounded corners. This is probably 'Maistorgluishy Fort' which was recorded in the SW side of the townland in the 1840s (OSNB, Kilcummin, no. 2, 34).
