Enclosure, Liscromwell, Co. Mayo

In the townland of Liscromwell in County Mayo, an enclosure sits in the landscape, recorded and mapped but not yet fully described.

Enclosures of this kind are among the most common and least glamorous features of the Irish archaeological record, ranging from prehistoric ring-forts and early medieval raths to later farmstead boundaries, each type shaped by its period and purpose. What marks this particular example out is not any known drama attached to it, but rather the quiet fact of its existence: a feature significant enough to have earned a formal monument record, yet one whose details remain, for now, out of public reach.
