What is recorded here

Kellysgrove holds a rectangular scar of grass-covered banks and hollows, stretching two hundred metres across undulating Galway ground. Local tradition claims the earthwork marks a pre-famine village, suggesting ordinary lives once moved through those now-empty channels before disaster emptied them. The shape remains visible enough to walk, large enough to contain rooms, yards and streets, yet no building stands to prove the memory true.

In undulating grassland. Roughly rectangular area c. 200m E-W by 150m N-S comprising a series of grass-covered banks and hollows. According to local tradition, it is the site of a pre-famine village. An enclosure (GA087-119----) lies c. 200m to NW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
