Enclosure in Caherakeeny

Enclosure

What is recorded here

On a rise in undulating grassland. Aerial reconnaissance in November 1987 (ASGAP 385:11) brought to light an irregular enclosure cut by a field wall. What survives is a poorly preserved enclosure (E-W 62m) defined by a collapsed grassed-over stone wall curving from W through N to E. A field wall cuts the monument at E and W and no visible surface trace survives to S of it. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
