Enclosure is a prehistoric earthwork monument located in the Newry and Mourne district of Northern Ireland. The site comprises a substantial enclosure of unknown specific date, though such monuments are typically associated with Bronze Age or Iron Age settlement activity. The earthwork is recorded in the Historic Environment Division's monument inventory as a potentially multi-functional site, with documentary references suggesting the possible presence of a horizontal mill structure, though this interpretation remains uncertain. The surviving physical remains consist of the enclosure banks and ditches, which represent an important record of early settlement patterns in the region.
