An enclosure, in the archaeological sense, is simply a defined area bounded by a bank, ditch, wall, or some combination of these, and such features turn up across Ireland in contexts ranging from the early medieval period to the post-medieval. They served as farmsteads, ritual spaces, livestock enclosures, or the footprints of long-vanished settlements. Which of these describes the feature at Knappagh More is, at present, a question without a published answer.
