Enclosure in Mountross — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Immediately NE of a folly (GA055-060001-). A penannular area (NW-SW 8.7m, NE-SW 7.05m max.) defined by a low but wide drystone wall, now largely collapsed. The interior (D c. 1.6m) is defined by a circular drystone revetment. A gap at NE may mark the original entrance. Possibly a hut, but according to local tradition, it was a place where poitín was distilled. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
