Enclosure, Carnshannagh, Co. Donegal

In the rolling landscape of County Donegal lies an ancient enclosure at Carnshannagh, a site that holds centuries of untold stories within its earthen boundaries.

Whilst the full archaeological details of this monument remain tucked away in the archives of the Archaeological Survey of Ireland, the enclosure stands as a tangible link to Ireland's prehistoric past. These types of enclosures, found scattered across the Irish countryside, typically date from the Bronze Age through to the early medieval period and served various purposes; from defensive settlements and livestock corrals to ceremonial gathering places for ancient communities.
