It is listed, it is known, and there it rests, somewhere between the mapped and the explained.

Enclosures of this kind are among the most common, and most ambiguous, features in the Irish archaeological landscape. The term covers a wide range of structures, from ringforts, which were enclosed farmsteads typically built between the early medieval period and the Norman arrival, to earlier prehistoric boundaries whose original purpose is harder to read. Without further detail it is impossible to say with confidence what period the Pullagh enclosure belongs to, what it was built from, or what life it once contained. Clare is a county where such features tend to survive in quiet corners of farmland, sometimes visible as a slight rise or a curving hedge line, sometimes barely legible at all without a trained eye or the right angle of winter light.
