Enclosure in Lerhin — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Lerhin Castle watches the west while the forgotten enclosure lies crushed under grass and quarry scars. Perhaps people lived inside those vanished banks before stone hunger consumed them, but no name or date remains to prove it. What is left is a thin rib of earth on a slight rise, waiting for someone to imagine the shape it lost.

On a slight rise in undulating grassland. Very poorly preserved enclosure defined by two banks and an intervening fosse which survive for only a 6m stretch at NW. The remainder of the monument has been extensively quarried away and an irregular scarp is all that survives of S half. Lerhin Castle (GA018-036----) lies to W. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
