What is recorded here

On flat pastureland within the former demesne of Castle Ffrench. Marked on OS 6-inch maps as a circular tree-planted enclosure. What survives is a poorly preserved circular platform (D 35m) defined by a slight scarp (H 0.2m). Traces of a possible external fosse, indicated by a darker band of vegetation, are visible at N. The interior has been cleared of trees; a pit in E half is probably the result of quarrying. Possibly a tree-ring. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
