What is recorded here
No visible trace remains on the ridge now, but a circular enclosure once stood at its northeast end, large enough for a small life or a fierce argument. The land has taken back its own shape, erasing the wall and leaving only the memory of a boundary. What was built there has returned to soil, waiting for someone to walk the ridge and imagine the shape of what is gone.
On NE end of a ridge. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (D c. 25m). No visible surface trace survives.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
