Enclosure, Ballyryan, Co. Clare

On a rough, uneven stretch of rock on the Clare coastline, facing out towards the Atlantic, sits a circular stone enclosure that spent years officially listed as something it probably is not.

Catalogued first in 1992 and again in 1996 as a possible archaeological enclosure, it carried with it the implication of ancient origins, the kind of site that might once have defined a settlement boundary or enclosed a defended farmstead in early medieval Ireland.
