What they share is the act of deliberately separating one space from another, and whatever form this particular example takes, it has been noted, mapped, and assigned a place in the national record of monuments.

Edenbaun is a small rural townland in Sligo, a county whose landscape contains a remarkable density of prehistoric and early medieval remains, from megalithic tombs on the Carrowmore plain to the passage tomb complex crowning Knocknarea. An enclosure in this county could plausibly belong to almost any period, from the Bronze Age through to the early Christian era, when ringforts, which are the most common field monument in Ireland, were built by farming families as both a practical boundary for a settlement and a marker of social standing. Without further detail it is not possible to say more about this particular site's date, character, or condition.
