In the vicinity of Barnaderg Castle (GA044-018----) which lies c. 300m to SE and a cashel (GA044-017----) c. 50m to NE. Aerial reconnaissance in July 1970 (CUCAP K17 W 57-9) showed an extensive series of grassed-over banks. However, those in the vicinity of the castle are likely to be relatively modern drainage trenches. In contrast, those to SW and W of the enclosure form a series of small irregular fields, covering an area c. 200m NE-SW by c. 150m NW-SE, within which some ridge and furrow cultivation is visible. (Norman and St Joseph 1969, 4-5) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
