Enclosure in Caltra

On level pastureland. A fairly well-preserved oval enclosure (NE-SW 43m, NW-SE 28m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. Traces of stone-facing are visible on the outer bank which is overlain from N to E by a modern field wall. Gaps in both banks and a causeway over the fosse at NNE suggest that this was the original entrance. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
