Enclosure
FORENAGHTS GREAT
This previously unrecorded enclosure was discovered in November 2018 using Google Earth imagery. It was reported to the National Monuments Service in March 2019. It was allocated monument number KD019-077—- and classed as an enclosure. Very faint on the Google Earth imagery, the location was later checked on LiDAR imagery provided online by the OPW. The enclosure is clearly visible in the LiDAR imagery.
This feature could potentially represent a levelled ringfort.
