Enclosures of this kind are among the most common and least understood monument types in Ireland; a broad category that can cover anything from an early medieval ringfort, a circular earthwork that once surrounded a farmstead, to a later field boundary or a ritual site of much older origin. Without knowing which category this one falls into, it occupies a curious position, present on the archaeological record, mapped and assigned a designation, but still waiting for its details to catch up with it.
