It sits on the landscape, noted and numbered, but largely undescribed.

Enclosures of this kind are among the most common, and most enigmatic, features of the Irish countryside. The term covers a wide range of structures, from the circular earthen banks of a ringfort, which would have enclosed a farmstead during the early medieval period, to the ditched boundaries of a later field system or a ceremonial site of far greater antiquity. Without more specific detail it is difficult to say which tradition this particular enclosure belongs to, or when it was made, or by whom. Racorcraun is a small rural townland, and the enclosure is simply there, a shape in the ground that has outlasted whatever life was once organised around it.
