What is recorded here

Knocknacarragh stands as one of the last visible strongholds on the western edge, a subcircular enclosure spanning nearly one hundred and forty metres across the summit of Gentian Hill. The earth and loose stone bank remains only from the east to the southeast, while the rest has surrendered to time and weather. This is not a complete ring but a broken arc, a hilltop that kept its shape long after its boundaries disappeared.

On the summit of Gentian Hill, a prominent drumlin jutting out into Galway Bay. Very poorly preserved large subcircular enclosure (D c. 140m) defined by a bank of earth and loose stone from E to SE; no surface traces are visible elsewhere.
