- WI027-087: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWI027-087----. Not indicated on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps, but clearly visible on recent OSi aerial photographs, and marked on the most recent OS ITM map. In rough, common grazing lands, on the W-facing slope of a ridge, with commanding views S over lowlands to Mt. Leinster, as well as Kilranelagh Hill nearby to the W, and NW towards Brusselstown and Spinans Hill. The site is intervisible with the large enclosure at Keadeen to the north (WI027-43----) and 'Crossoona Rath' in Boleycarrigeen (WI027-038----). While the area around the enclosure is overgrown with gorse, the interior is grassy and generally gorse-free, however, gorse does obscure some of the enclosing bank/wall. An oval area (diams. c.70m E-W; 53m N-S) is defined by an earth and stone bank at the N (Wth. 2.8m; H 0.5m), which has been largely robbed out along the E where material may have been used in the construction of the nearby stone wall. Along a short section at the WNW where the enclosure comes to a sort of point and where the ground falls away, the enclosing element has been reduced to a scarp (H 1m). At S and SW the enclosing element takes the form of a collapsed stone wall (Wth 2.2m; H 0.4m). The entrance appears to be at the S, where two stones (H 0.70m and 0.85m) set on edge (with a third loosely jambed between them) appear to define the W side of the entrance. The E side is overgrown with gorse, but 2.8m E of these stones another large stone may define the eastern side of the entrance. A a small circular hut site (WI027-087001-) lies to SE of centre within the enclosure. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 23 October 2012

In an enclosure (WI027-087----) to the SE of its centre. A small circular area (diam. 4m) is defined by a low ring of stones with a clump of gorse obscuring the SE edge.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
