What is recorded here

Enclosure in Turlough (ballymoe By.) is a vanished circular enclosure on the northwest slope of a hill beside a ringfort in County Galway. It appeared on early maps as a bounded circle, perhaps with a surrounding ditch, but no visible trace remains beside the county road. The land has taken back what people built there, leaving only the memory of a shape that once cut through the grass.

On NW slope of a hill, 50m SW of a ringfort (GA007-120----) and immediately N of the county road. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure. On 3rd ed. (1930), it also appears as a circular enclosure (D c. 25m) but is shown as being enclosed by a fosse (D c. 40m max.). No visible surface trace survives. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
