Enclosures are among the most common archaeological features in the Irish countryside, and also among the most varied. The term covers everything from the circular earthen banks of early medieval ringforts, where a farming family might have lived within a raised and ditched boundary, to later agricultural or ecclesiastical enclosures whose purposes were quite different. Without knowing the specific form this one takes, its diameter, whether it retains a bank or ditch, and how much of it survives, the classification alone tells us only that someone, at some point, drew a boundary here and that the ground has remembered it.
