What is recorded here

Knockacarrigeen holds a faded thirty-seven-metre ring where earth and stone still break the grass. It sits one hundred twenty metres south-southeast of another fort, joining a neighbouring enclosure fifty metres north-west to form a small cluster of ancient boundaries. The eastern gap may mark a modern cut rather than a true doorway, reminding us that human feet have always touched and changed these hills.

Some 120m SSE of a ringfort (GA043-105001-). Poorly preserved circular ringfort (D c. 37m) defined by a bank of earth and stone. A gap (Wth c. 6m) at E appears modern. An enclosure (GA043-105002-) lies c. 50m to NW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
