Enclosure in Knocknagappagh

Enclosure

What is recorded here

Knocknagappagh holds a faded circular enclosure twenty-eight metres across on a gentle east-facing slope, with another ringfort waiting two hundred metres northeast. The grass has swallowed most of the boundary, leaving only a shallow scarp to mark where human hands once shaped the land. That much of the structure has vanished does not diminish it; it proves the place still resists easy judgement and invites closer observation.
On a gentle E-facing slope in grassland. A poorly preserved raised circular enclosure (D 27.8m) defined by a scarp. A ringfort (GA086-113----) is visible c. 200m to NE. 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
