Enclosures
In County Clare, in a townland called Deerpark, there is an enclosure.
That much is known. The name alone opens questions: deerparks in Ireland were typically walled or embanked reserves attached to Anglo-Norman or later English estate properties, designed to keep deer contained for hunting. Whether this enclosure relates to such a park, predates it entirely, or marks something else on the landscape altogether is, for now, unanswered in any publicly available form.
