What is recorded here
Culliagh North once held a thirty-metre earthen ring on a west-facing slope, but a house and garden now bury the mound. The fort disappeared beneath domestic life, leaving no visible trace for modern eyes. It may have been a trading post, a refuge or a forgotten home, yet the earth kept its shape long enough for surveyors to draw the circle before the build began.
On W-facing slope in grassland. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (D c. 30m). A house and garden now occupy the site and 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).
