That much is certain. Beyond the bare fact of its existence on the archaeological record, almost nothing has been made publicly available about it, which places it in an unusual category: a named, catalogued monument that remains, for now, effectively silent.

Enclosures of this kind are among the most common monument types in the Irish landscape. The term covers a wide range of features, from the circular earthen ringforts of the early medieval period, which served as farmstead enclosures, to earlier prehistoric boundaries whose purpose is less easily defined. Without further detail it is impossible to say which category the Creegh example belongs to, or how much of it survives above ground. Clare's western parishes contain numerous such features, many of them reduced to low earthen banks or crop marks, easy to miss without knowing what you are looking for.
