Enclosures of this kind appear throughout the Irish landscape in considerable variety. Some are the remains of ringforts, roughly circular earthworks that served as farmstead boundaries during the early medieval period.

Without the supporting detail for this particular site, which category it belongs to remains an open question. Clogher as a place name appears in several parts of Ireland and is generally derived from the Irish clochár, meaning a stony place or a collection of stones, which may or may not point toward something about the character of the ground where this enclosure sits.
