Enclosure, Granny, Co. Kilkenny

At Granny in County Kilkenny, there is a recorded archaeological enclosure that sits quietly in the official record, noted but not yet fully described.

An enclosure, in the Irish archaeological sense, is typically a defined area bounded by an earthen bank, ditch, wall, or some combination of these, and such features could serve many purposes across the centuries: settlement, ritual, livestock management, or the marking of status. What makes the site at Granny worth a moment's attention is precisely how little is currently documented about it, leaving its character, date, and function open questions.
