What is recorded here

Enclosure in Turlough (carra By.) stands on a small hill overlooking the Castlebar River valley in County Mayo, Ireland. The 1838 OS 6-inch map shows a circular graveyard about sixty metres across, with a round tower and church crowning the summit. That clear boundary may have marked an early ecclesiastical enclosure, though no definitive trace remains visible at ground level.

On a small hill overlooking the valley of the Castlebar River. On the 1838 OS 6-inch map Turlough graveyard (MA070-144008-) is depicted as a circular area (diam. c. 60m) delimited by a dashed line: this encompassed the hill, with the dashed line coinciding with the lower contours, and the round tower (MA088-144002-) and church (MA088-144001-) crowning the summit. It is possible that this reflected the outline of an early ecclesiastical enclosure, but no definitive evidence of this can be seen at ground level.
