What is recorded here
No visible trace survives in the grassland northwest of Carrowroe House, though a circular enclosure roughly fifty metres across once stood there. Another earthwork lay eighty metres to the south-southeast, suggesting a small cluster of human activity now erased by time and soil. The absence is not emptiness; it is a shape remembered only through measurement and map lines.

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).
