Description
In grassland atop high ground in upland area with panoramic views in all directions. Nearby enclosure (TS054-031----) 150m to SW. Well preserved and impressive but heavily overgrown hilltop enclosure. Impossible to examine perimeter due to dense cover of thorn bushes. Monument consists of a raised circular area (int. diam. 21m NW-SE; 26m N-S; overall diam. c. 100m N-S) enclosed by a well-preserved earth and stone bank (top Wth 2m; base Wth 4-5m; int. H 1.5m; ext. H 2.5-4.5m), wide flat-bottomed waterlogged fosse (base Wth 4m; top Wth 5-6m; ext. D 1.5-4m) and external bank (top Wth 1.5m; base Wth 3m; ext. H 0.5-2.5m). Causewayed entrance (Wth 3.5m) at SW. Some damage to external face of inner bank and internal face of outer bank at S, elsewhere the banks and fosse are so well preserved that the profiles appear to be in their original condition, could possibily have been re-cut in the post-medieval period. The outer face of the inner bank is vertical in places as is the inner face of the outer bank. Impressive straight-sided flat-bottomed fosse which is waterlogged from S to SW. Impressive hilltop enclosure with unusual preservation of profiles of banks and intervening fosse. The gradual slope of the inner face of the bank down into the interior forms an amphitheatre effect to the interior which again is similar to Beal Boru (CL045-031001-/CL045-031003-) in Co. Clare. This was an important fortification and represents a well preserved high status or heavily fortified monument. Evidence of hazel coppicing around perimeter of enclosure. Faces of the enclosing banks on the external face of inner bank and inner face of outer bank are vertical in places. Very impressive views over the village of Killenaule from this hilltop enclosure, siting is very important for this monument. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
