What is recorded here
Galleastown enclosure adjoins Rath An Mhuire at NE, a D-shaped grass annexe 14.5m long on a hill shelf. Its shallow scarp, barely a metre high, marks a boundary someone drew without building a wall. Perhaps it kept livestock, perhaps it marked a household, but the earth still holds the shape of that choice.
Situated on a shelf towards the bottom of the NE-facing slope of a hill. Attached to rath (ME015-047----) at NE is a small D-shaped annexe visible as a raised grass-covered area (dims 14.5m NE-SW; c. 11m NW-SE) defined by a scarp (at NE: Wth 2.3m; H 0.9m).
