Enclosure in Cooltymurraghy (clonmacnowen By.)

On a rise in farmland. Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1947) as an irregularly shaped enclosure (NW-SE c. 50m, E-W c. 40 m) immediately N of an ESE-WNW running field boundery. All that is now visible is an irregularly shaped area defined by a series of disjointed banks These appear to enclose a low hummock with a flat summit (6.5m by 4.7m). A castle site (GA099-072001-) lies immediately S of the field boundary and may be associated. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
