Enclosure in Derroogh — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

On a slight rise in bogland. Marked on OS 6-inch maps as a quadrangular enclosure (c. 35m by c. 35m): on 1st ed. there are small roughly diamond-shaped projections at E and W angles. All that survives is an irregular overgrown mound, quarried away at the centre, with a large breach at W. Possibly a moated site. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
