What is recorded here

Enclosure in Templemoyle is a vanished boundary on low ground beside Eskerstephen graveyard. A shadow in the grass appeared only when seen from above in 1968, drawing two curving lines that may have marked a field or a grave-related enclosure. The land keeps its shape without giving it up, waiting for rain, roots or memory to make the hidden edge visible again.
On low-lying ground to NW of Eskerstephen graveyard (GA045-050002-). Aerial reconnaissance in July 1968 (CUCAP AVM 44) revealed a vegetation mark comprising two strongly curving concentric lines. These possibly form part of a field system or a large enclosure associated with the graveyard. No visible surface trace survives. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
