Embanked enclosure — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

On the W shore of Galey Bay (dims c. 1 km N-S; c. 1 km E-W), an inlet of Lough Ree. William Boy O'Kelly entertained the poets at Gallagh at Christmas 1351 according to a contemporary poem, and it may have been within this enclosure (O’Donovan 1843, 104). This is a subcircular grass and scrub-covered area (dims 50m NNW-SSE; 43m ENE-WSW) defined by the lake shore WNW-E-S and the remnants of an overgrown bank (at W: Wth 5.8m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 2m) with outer facing stones and an outer fosse (at W: Wth of top 10m; Wth of base 3.2m; D 1m) elsewhere. The fosse is separated by a berm (Wth c. 13m) from a second fosse (Wth c. 5m; D 0.3m) WSW-WNW. There is a causeway (Wth 4.5m) through the inner fosse at W. Tower house (RO042-045001-) is in the interior. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
