Enclosure in Doonaun

On a gentle rise in farmland. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a subrectangular enclosure (E-W c. 40m, N-S c. 30m). On 3rd ed. (1932), the words 'Burial Ground' have been appended. What survives is a subcircular area (E-W 60m) bounded by a modern stone wall, the interior of which is still in use as a graveyard. The S part of the original enclosure is now occupied by a carpark. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
