What is recorded here

Enclosure in Toberroe (dunmore By.) is a poorly preserved rectangular enclosure within a field system in County Galway, Ireland. It measures 21m north-south and 15m east-west, with grassed-over stone walls on three sides and no visible trace of the fourth. Two ringforts lie nearby, one 160m southwest and another 190m northeast, suggesting a settled landscape where people lived, worked and marked boundaries long before modern fences replaced older walls.
Within a field system (GA028-021----). Poorly preserved rectangular enclosure (N-S 21m, E-W 15m) defined by a grassed-over stone wall along N, E and S sides. No visible surface trace of W side survives, a later field fence here may overlie it. Two gaps at N could be modern. A ringfort (GA028-044----) lies 160m to SW and another (GA028-043003-) 190m to NE. 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
