What is recorded here

No visible surface trace survives, but the lost fort once stood about 45m across in Townparks, near Tuam. Houses now occupy the site, and the fort has become a boundary marker for the area rather than a ruin people can walk around.

Some 150m E of an enclosure (GA029-170----). Marked on 1st ed. on OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (D 45m) but evidently much damaged by time of 3rd ed. (1932) when only a hachured arc at N is shown. No visible surface trace survives; a number of houses now occupy the site. A CBG (GA029-171001-) lay within the interior. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
