Enclosure in Radullaan

Enclosure

What is recorded here

Radullaan holds a broken circle on a Galway hillock, its scarp still visible though quarrying and a new reservoir have invaded the centre. The nearby ringfort watches seventy metres east, suggesting the enclosure belonged to a busy landscape rather than a forgotten one. Human hands shaped the land twice: once to exclude, again to take.
On a prominent hillock in grassland. A poorly preserved subcircular enclosure (NW-SE 34.5m, NE-SW 28m) defined by a scarp from NNE to E, and from SE through W to N. Elsewhere it has been extensively quarried and a reservoir has been built within the interior. A ringfort (GA086-195----) lies c. 70m to ESE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
