Enclosure in Lisheennaheltia

Enclosure

What is recorded here

Lisheennaheltia held a forty-metre subcircular enclosure beside a ringfort, but quarrying removed the visible trace before anyone could walk its edge. The loss turns the site into a phantom neighbor, forcing imagination to complete what the land refused to keep.
In grassland. Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1930) as a subcircular enclosure (N-S c. 40m) cut by a field wall at NE and SE. No visible surface trace survives due to extensive quarrying. A ringfort (GA006-069----) lies c. 100m to N. (Knight c. 1975, 111; Conway c. 1980, 15) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
