Enclosure in Knockdoebeg West

In a cleared field in rough grassland and rock outcrop. Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1934) as an oval hollow (c. 50m by c. 30m) overlain by a field boundary at SE. No visible surface trace survives. A probable Man-made underground passage (GA070-079001-) is associated. Though OS designation is vague, the association with a 'cave' suggests that this was probably a ringfort and Man-made underground passage. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
