Enclosures
In the townland of Cuilleen in County Mayo, an enclosure sits in the landscape, recorded and classified but not yet fully described.
Enclosures of this kind are among the most common archaeological features in Ireland, ranging from the circular ringforts that once served as defended farmsteads to more enigmatic earthworks whose original purpose remains disputed. What makes this particular example quietly interesting is precisely how little has filtered through into the public record. It is a place that has been noticed, named, and mapped, yet remains, for the moment, almost entirely unexplained.
