Enclosure

What is recorded here

On a ridge in pastureland overlooking lower land to N and NW. Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1933) as an oval enclosure (NW-SW c. 35m, E-W 20m). The monument has been completely levelled and no visible surface trace survives. The presence of barley stubble suggests that the subsurface features may have been disturbed by ploughing. II - North Galway'.

Bawnmore HouseOutbuilding · 1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Bawnmore House is involved in a feud with the neighbours over who gets to own the best view of nothing. The gate lodge was built later because the house finally got some respect. Look up and see who’s winning the argument.

Explorer Tom Cregg Castle has a prophecy that says it will float away on a Tuesday. It houses a seventeenth-century tower inside a nineteenth-century mansion, like a Russian doll gone wrong. Ideal place to read a book and ignore history.

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Lackagh Beg is still in use next to a ruined church. A goat once ruled this place and left its mark on the fences. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.

Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.4 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Lackagh More had five storeys, which is a lot of stairs for someone who never wanted visitors. The north corner collapsed because it got tired of holding up the roof. Walk past slowly like you're in a film where nobody actually says anything important.

Explorer Tom Part of St. Jarlaths Cross is buried under the church floor like a secret. Found where the communion table is now, which is weirdly specific. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.
