What is recorded here

A subcircular stony mound in Tullybeg South, open to the north-northwest, holds 28 metres of defaced boundary in reclaimed pasture. Boulders and gravel have buried its edges while the south interior has been robbed out, leaving a hollow shape rather than a clear room. It may have marked a farm, a ritual boundary or a neighbourhood claim, but the stones no longer answer that question.
In level reclaimed pastureland. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure and on 3rd ed. (1932) as a penannular oval enclosure (NW-SE c. 40m, E-W c. 30m) open towards NNW. What survives is a subcircular stony mound (E-W 28m, N-S 26.5m) much defaced and obscured by the dumping of boulders and gravel. The S half of the interior has been robbed out. 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
