What is recorded here
No visible surface trace survives at Pollacorragune, though old maps marked a circular enclosure thirty-five metres wide on the ridge slope. The earth has forgotten the fort, erasing the boundary between human making and natural decay. What remains is a ghost in the landscape, a circle drawn only in memory and ink.
On NE slope of a ridge. Marked on OS 6-inch maps as a circular enclosure (D c. 35m). No visible surface trace survives. An earthwork (GA029-142----) lies c. 130m to N.
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).
