• LA033-007 Enclosure
  Description

  In undulating countryside, Clonburren Castle (LA033-011001-) located 460m to the S. Not marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map. The arc of a curving field boundary (diam. c. 54.2m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth c. 2.4m; int. H c. 0.8m, ext. H c. 1.1m) that is only visible as a curving field boundary from NW-N to NE only. No visible remains of any enclosing element from NE-E-S-W-NW. No evidence of any enclosing feature can be seen on aerial photographs. See attached aerial photograph taken from Bing Maps which shows curving field forming N boundary of roughly-circular shaped area (diam. c. 90m). This aerial photograph shows no enclosing element or any evidence of a cropmark forming a circular enclosure on the S side of possible enclosure. No antiquity is shown at this location on the 1838 ed. OS 6-inch map. The curving field boundary is depicted as a field boundary and not as an antiquity on the current ed. OS 6-inch map. This curving field boundary was identified as a possible enclosure based on examination of Geological Survey of Ireland (GSI S. 40/39) aerial photograph taken June 1973. On this map the curving field boundary was identified as upstanding from S-W-N to NE. The curving portion of the enclosure visible on this photograph from S-W-NW is formed by a stream marking the townland boundary between Cappalinnan and Clonburren (Moore). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Laois' (Dublin Stationery Office, 1995) compiled by P. David Sweetman, Olive Alcock and Bernie Moran. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 07 April 2014 Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien
