Enclosure, Ballymulcashel, Co. Clare

In the townland of Ballymulcashel, in County Clare, an enclosure sits in the landscape, formally recorded as an archaeological monument but largely unknown beyond that bare designation.

The word enclosure covers a broad range of ancient features, from the circular earthen banks of a ringfort, which would have enclosed a farmstead in early medieval Ireland, to more ambiguous boundaries of uncertain date and purpose. What this particular example looked like, how it was built, and what it once contained remains, for now, undocumented in any publicly available form.
