What is recorded here

Enclosure in Loughaunnavaag stood on a prominent hillock in County Galway, measured about thirty metres across, and vanished in 1974 when a landowner levelled what he called a rath. The grassland still rolls around that hidden circle, holding the shape of a boundary nobody chose to keep.

On a prominent hillock in undulating grassland. Marked on OS 6-inch maps as a roughly circular enclosure (D c. 30m). No visible surface trace survive as it was levelled in 1974 by the landowner who stated that it was a 'rath' enclosed by a bank. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
