What is recorded here
No stone or soil mark remains, yet the forgotten ring once stood forty metres north of its neighbour. It vanished from the ground but resisted erasure from human memory. Carraghy keeps both truths: loss and continuity.
Some 40m N of an enclosure (GA070-032----). Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (D c. 30m). No visible surface trace survives.
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).
