One of a group of five circular enclosures (OF039-015001/002/003/004-) that are indicated on the current edition of the OS 6-inch map. Not indicated on the first two editions of the 6-inch map. These enclosures are not indicated as an antiquity and may be landscape features of post-1700 AD date. Present site consists of a circular enclosure (diam. 24m) enclosed by a low earthen bank and deep outer fosse which has a V-shaped profile with no evidence of any entrance feature. The interior of the site slopes from W to E. Four of these enclosures still survive intact with the fifth one destroyed by a modern forestry road. The four surviving enclosures are located in modern forrestry and are now inaccesible.

• OF039-015001 Enclosure
  Description

  Located on the E facing slope of high ground in mountainous area. Circular area (diam 24m) enclosed by a low narrow earthen bank and deep V-shaped fosse with no evidence of entrance feature.

The fifth egg shaped enclosure was recently destroyed by Coillte during road construction. These enclosures were not marked on the first two editions of the OS 6-inch maps and are not depicted as antiquities on the third edition. This fact along with their unusual form and location and perfect state of preservation would suggest that these are possibly landscape features or tree rings of no archaeological significance.
