What is recorded here

In grassland W of Carrowroe House. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as an irregularly shaped enclosure (c. 45m by c. 40m) cut by a field boundary at NW and NE. Described locally as the site of a 'fort', but all that is visible is a slight rise in the ground surface marking its S limis. Another earthwork (GA006-027----) lay c. 80m to NNW. 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
