Enclosures of this kind are among the most common yet least understood features of the Irish countryside. They survive as earthen banks, ditches, or sometimes as subtle cropmarks visible only from the air, and they could date from almost any period, from the Bronze Age through to the early medieval centuries, when ringforts and enclosed farmsteads were the dominant form of rural settlement.

Woolengrange is a quiet agricultural townland, and like many such places in Kilkenny, its ground holds more archaeology than is immediately obvious to the passing eye. Beyond its classification as an enclosure and its location, the specific details of this particular site, its dimensions, condition, date, and any finds associated with it, remain to be fully documented in the public record.
