That much is certain. The details beyond that, the shape of it, its age, its condition, whether it survives as a grassy ring in a field or as little more than a cropmark visible only from the air, remain for now out of easy reach.

Enclosures of this kind are among the most common, and most quietly compelling, monument types in the Irish countryside. The term covers a broad range of features: ringforts, which were the farmsteads of early medieval Ireland, typically defined by an earthen bank and ditch; ecclesiastical enclosures marking the boundaries of early Christian settlements; and occasional prehistoric examples whose purposes are less easily categorised. Clare has no shortage of them, scattered across limestone pasture and drumlin ground alike, many still unexcavated and imperfectly understood. The Enagh example is recorded and mapped, which means it has been noted in the field at some point, but the fuller account of what survives and what is known about it has not yet been made publicly available.
