The National Monuments Service's description
This record was incorrectly classified as Enclosure in the RMP (1997). It has been reclassified as a Sheepfold as it was described in 1969 (Topgr. Files, Dúchas) as 'a very small sheepfold'. Due to extensive field clearance in the area no visible surface trace survives.
