Enclosures of this kind are among the most common yet least understood monument types in Ireland, ranging from the circular earthen ringforts of the early medieval period to far earlier prehistoric boundaries whose original purposes remain debated. They could serve as farmsteads, as cattle enclosures, as defended residences, or as ceremonially significant boundaries. The fact that one exists at Sheshymore tells us that people chose this particular patch of Clare ground, at some point in the long span of Irish prehistory or early history, and marked it deliberately.

Sheshymore as a placename has the quality of many Irish townland names, carrying within it a compressed and often ambiguous history. The landscape of County Clare is thick with such monuments, from the limestone karst of the Burren in the north to the more gentle farmland further south and east, and enclosures appear across all of it. Without further excavation or detailed survey data in the accessible record, the specific character of this one, its size, its construction method, whether it is earthen or stone-built, and its probable date, remains unconfirmed in any publicly available source.
