Enclosure, Cragballyconoal, Co. Clare

In the limestone landscape of County Clare, in a townland whose name, Cragballyconoal, suggests deep layers of Gaelic place-naming, there sits an enclosure that has been formally recorded as an archaeological monument but whose details remain, for now, largely undocumented in any publicly accessible form.

An enclosure, in the broadest archaeological sense, is any defined area bounded by a bank, ditch, wall, or combination of these, and such features in County Clare range from prehistoric farmsteads to early medieval ringforts to later field systems. Without further detail, the precise character of this one, its date, its dimensions, its state of preservation, remains an open question.
