Hilltop enclosure in Carrownderry

Just off summit of a NW-SE running ridge in undulating grassland, overlooking the village of Williamstown to SE. Circular enclosure (D 110m), in fair condition, defined by two earthen banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is present from N through E to S; elsewhere a degraded scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse and outer bank are best preserved from E to S. Either of two gaps at W or E could be original. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
