What is recorded here
No visible surface trace survives in the level grassland of Aghlisk, yet the forgotten ring still claims forty metres of earth. That missing circle is not a failure of memory; it is a invitation to imagine the hands that built it and the lives that turned within it. The land keeps its shape even when the grass hides the line, waiting for someone to walk the absent wall and ask what it protected.
In a field of level grassland. Marked on OS 6-inch maps as a circular enclosure (D c. 40m). 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).
