Enclosure

Why this matters

What is recorded here

In low-lying bogland. Very poorly preserved subcircular enclosure (N-S 33m, E-W 30m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall and external fosse from S through W to N. A degraded scarp forms the enclosing element elsewhere. A field wall cuts the monument at N and S. Known locally as the monument from which the td. derived its name. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
