That much is known. Beyond the bare classification, the archaeological record for this site is, for the moment, silent, which places it in an unusual category: a monument that has been identified and registered, but whose details have not yet been made publicly available. In a landscape as archaeologically layered as County Mayo, that silence is itself worth noting.

Enclosures of various kinds appear throughout the Irish countryside, ranging from the circular earthen ringforts that once served as defended farmsteads during the early medieval period, to later field boundaries, ecclesiastical enclosures, and prehistoric ceremonial sites. Without further documentation attached to this particular site, it is not possible to say which tradition the Doogary enclosure belongs to, when it was built, or by whom. Mayo's interior is scattered with monuments that have received little systematic attention, and a registered but undescribed enclosure is a reminder of how much fieldwork remains to be done across the country.
