Enclosure in Eochaill (bar. Árainn)

Part of Baile na mBocht, Inis Mór (GA110-162----). Kinahan (1869d, 25-6, no. 6) describes this as 'A small stone fort, about 70 feet [21.3m] in diameter ... formerly surrounded by a stone wall, about 8 feet [2.4m] thick, in which was a flagged rectangular doorway, 3 feet [0.9m] high, by 3 feet 5 inches [1.1m] wide, facing to the SE'. All that survives today is a slightly raised D-shaped area (N-S c. 14m, E-W c. 13m). (Robinson 1980) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).

A small early-medieval stone ringfort, likely dating to between the 6th and 10th centuries, located on Inis Mór, part of the Aran Islands. It is associated with the area of Baile na mBocht and may have been a defended homestead, with local folklore potentially linking it to ancient or supernatural inhabitants, as is common with such sites in Irish tradition.
