What is recorded here
In low-lying marshy pastureland. Poorly preserved oval enclosure (E-W 42.5m; N-S 38m) defined by an earthen tree-lined bank and external fosse from WSW to NNW; the latter is traceable only as a faint depression elsewhere. The interior rises c. 1.5m to the centre. Its location and proximity to Moycullen Lodge are indicative of a landscape feature, but the morphology suggests that it may be a landscaped archaeological monument.
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).
