What is recorded here
Moyvoon East is a flat pasture where a vanished circular enclosure once stood about thirty-five metres across. No wall, ditch or stone still marks the place, but the forgotten shape suggests people lived there before the grass consumed the evidence. The land keeps the fort hidden rather than lost, waiting for someone to imagine the doors, fires and ordinary days inside its missing ring.
In flat pastureland. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (D c. 35m). No visible surface trace survives.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
