What is recorded here
No visible trace remains of the D-shaped enclosure in Garrynagry, yet St Annan's R.C. Church has occupied its heart since 1810. The building stands inside a forgotten boundary, proving the enclosure was never empty but waiting for a purpose worthy of its shape.
In undulating farmland. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a D-shaped enclosure (D c. 40m), the interior of which was then, as now, occupied by St Annan's R.C. Church (built 1810). No visible surface trace survives.
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).
