• MA121-201 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, in limestone terrain, close to the W boundary of the townland. The enclosure straddles two properties and is crossed roughly centrally by an E−W field wall. The field to S of the wall is broken by limestone outcropping, strewn with loose stones, and crossed by occasional remnants of old field divisions. The field to N of the E−W wall is improved pasture, cleared of stones. This enclosure is not shown on any edition of the OS 6-inch map, but is visible in aerial imagery. Slightly raised circular area (overall. c. 18-20m; diam. int. 16m E−W) defined on the S half by a stone bank/wall. The N half, which lies to N of an E−W field wall, was levelled in 2019, its outline now a barely discernible undulation. The surviving S half measures 16-17m E−W; 8m N−S (to E−W property wall); the interior is level, grassy with some thistles. The enclosing wall on the S half is evident as a poorly defined sod-covered rise (Wth c. 2m; H 0.2-0.4m, 0.7m at E) from which low stones protrude randomly; it is moss-covered with occasional clumps of brambles. The basal course of the outer wall face remains in situ on the SE arc.

• MA121-202 Enclosure
  Description

  In reclaimed pasture in limestone terrain. Not shown on any edition of the OS 6-inch map, but visible in aerial imagery. This monument was levelled in the past. Its original form is now uncertain. It appears to have been circular (diam. approx. 15-18m). The remains consist of a low D-shaped rise or mound (c. 15m E−W; c. 8m N−S) with poorly defined broadly sloped sides on the curving S side, and bordered on the straight N side by an E−W drystone field wall, which rises up over the contours of the mound. On the E edge of the mound, a stone bank or mound (Wth c. 6m E−W, 2m N−S; H 0.75m) protrudes from beneath the E-W field wall, possibly a remnant of an original enclosing wall/bank.
