Recorded monuments

• CL035-024 Enclosure
  Description

  On the crown of a distinct hillock of rough pasture, with extensive views across a much lower, undulating landscape in all directions. There is a clear view across to Tulla Church (CL035-022003-), graveyard (CL035-022004-) and ecclesiastical enclosure (CL035-022001-) on Tulla hill to W. Westropp (1908-9, 389) describes the monument as a, ‘terraced fort hardly a foot higher than the summit, but terraced up from 8 feet to 10 feet high at the north, with a very steep bank and no fosse or appreciable ring. It is 78 feet east and west, 96 feet north and south overall; and from its lofty furze ring, 12 feet high, is one of the most conspicuous….of the hill forts’. Depicted on the 25-inch OS 6-inch map as a circular area (24m N-S; c. 23m E-W) defined by a single bank, located within the SW corner of a field. Not visible at ground level, except for a faint trace of the former bank which has been reduced to a levelled scarp (Wth 1.5m; H 0.15m) NE-SE. The land falls very steeply from the projected area of the levelled bank at N and falls more gently, but steadily to S. The following image has been uploaded: CL035-024----_01.jpg From SW. Cross sectional view of levelled scarp at SE. Compiled by: Mary Tunney, Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 19 June 2018
