What is recorded here
Enclosure in Mirehill is a subcircular area 39m by 37m, defined by a scarp and external fosse from SSW through W to NNE, located 220m NE of a ringfort in County Galway. A laneway cuts it at NE and SSW, two field walls radiate west, and field-clearance rubble lies piled inside at E beside an associated CBG. The rest has vanished without surface trace, leaving only a broken circle where a whole life may have turned.
