Place & story
An enclosure south of Carton
Gearóid Conroy’s 2011 archaeological record describes a poorly preserved outer enclosure, roughly 130 metres across, around the Donaghmore ecclesiastical site. A low earthen bank survived along its eastern side, with traces of a ditch outside. An embanked approach entered from the south and ran towards the central graveyard. The site lies south of Carton Demesne, separated from it by the Royal Canal, railway and road. [2]
A possible rectangular feature
A separate record identifies a possible rectangular enclosure about 200 metres southeast of the ecclesiastical site. It was visible as a cropmark on an aerial photograph, but no surface trace of a monument was found. Its form and date therefore remain uncertain. [3]
