Enclosure in Loughbown

In undulating grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular enclosure (E-W 35m, N-S 31m) defined by a degraded bank which is overlain by a field boundary. At NW, a feeding pen has been built into the inner face of the bank, and farm buildings have disturbed the enclosing element at W. Field boundaries radiate from the bank at NE and E. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
