• CL027-053 Enclosure - large enclosure
  Description

  Enclosing the crown of a rounded hillock, in rough pasture, overlooking low-lying bog and gently undulating landscape SE-NW, forestry NW-SE and undulating pasture NE-SE, including Cloondanagh Lough to ESE. There are reasonable views in all directions, although inhibited by forestry to N. The monument is not depicted on OS historic mapping, although there is an arrangement of field boundaries forming a suboval area in this vicinity on the 1842 edition of the OS 6-inch map and the 1899 OS 25-inch map. It was identified through analysis of Digital Globe satellite imagery (Digital Globe 2012). The monument consists of a substantial subcircular area (130m ENE-WSW; 123m NNW-SSE) defined by the remains of a levelled scarp (Wth 1.7-7.5m; H 0.4-0.8m) NW-W, which is visible spanning three adjoining fields. The scarp (Wth 3m; H 0.55m) is best preserved N-SSE, (in the field to E) where it overlooks a natural scarp falling steeply to level bog. The scarp is almost completely levelled out SW-W (in the field to W), where it is vaguely traceable and it appears completely levelled W-NW. The ruin of a vernacular building is situated on the scarp at SSE. There are vague traces of a fosse (Wth c. 2.5m; D c. 0.05m) in the central and E field which is evident on the satellite imagery NW-W. A possible entrance feature may be located at WSW, from where a possible trackway (L c. 45m; Wth c. 12m) extends toward the bog.

• CL027-054 Enclosure
  Description

  In level bog, overlooked by slightly higher, gently undulating landscape of pasture and rough pasture. Not depicted on OS historic mapping. This monument was identified as an oval anomaly on satellite imagery (https://binged.it/2mApwPS, accessed 7 March 2017). It consists of an oval area (21m N-S; 18m E-W) defined by a low ring of heathers and bog myrtle (Wth 3.5m; H 0.3m) at WNW-NNE which may delineate the remains of a levelled bank. The interior is level and similar to the surrounding bog being covered in low heathers, sedge, bog asphodel, bog cotton and sphagnum moss. A similar possible enclosure (CL027-055----) is located c. 27m to N. The following images have been uploaded: CL027-054----_01.jpg From WNW. Cross-section of enclosing elements at NNE.
