What is recorded here
Enclosure in Maghera More (moycullen By.) stands on a Galway ridge, its oval bank still visible beneath pasture and time. A trackway curves around it rather than cutting through, as if the land learned the shape before people named it. The bank has softened, but the line remains clear enough to walk, remember, and respect.
On a prominent ridge in pastureland. This oval enclosure (c. 40m E-W; 34m N-S) is defined by a much-degraded bank of earth and stone. The interior is level. A trackway curves around the enclosure from NE to E respecting the line of the bank. The monument was identified by the landowner.
