That much is known, recorded, and catalogued. Beyond that, the details remain frustratingly out of reach, which is itself a quietly telling fact about the Irish archaeological landscape, where the count of known monuments far outpaces the count of well-documented ones.

Enclosures are among the most common archaeological features found across Ireland, and among the most varied. The term covers everything from the circular earthen banks of a ringfort, a type of enclosed farmstead typically dating from the early medieval period, to earlier ceremonial or funerary boundaries whose original purpose remains contested. Without further detail specific to Martry, it is not possible to say which tradition this particular enclosure belongs to, what form its boundaries take, or how legible it remains in the landscape today. County Clare is rich in such features, sitting as it does across limestone karst, ancient field systems, and layers of settlement stretching back thousands of years, but that general context does not fill the gap left by the absence of specific record.
