Enclosure in Radullaan

Enclosure

What is recorded here

Radullaan holds a faded circular enclosure on a grassy hillock, its thin bank and sharp scarp barely visible beneath modern outbuildings and a cutting field bank. It stands twenty metres wide, incomplete but distinct, while a separate ringfort waits two hundred metres southeast. The place retains shape despite erosion and human intrusion, suggesting occupancy rather than abandonment.
On a hillock in grassland. Very poorly preserved subcircular enclosure (WNW-ESE 30m, SSW-NNE 26.6m) defined by a bank from WSW to NW, and elsewhere by a scarp. Modern outbuildings overlie the monument from N to NE, and a field bank runs from NNE to SSW through the interior. A ringfort (GA086-189----) lies c. 200m SE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
