What is recorded here
No visible trace remains of the circular enclosure near Tobernaclug, yet the vanished fort still claims the grass. It is the absent twin of a surviving ringfort, suggesting two households or a failed birth rather than one lonely home. The land keeps the shape even when the stones departed, inviting imagination to finish what measurement stopped.
Some 130m SE of a ringfort (GA005-109----). Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (D c. 40m). 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).
