What is recorded here

On N-facing slope in reclaimed pastureland. An arc of collapse and wall foundations (Wth 2.4m), in NW corner of a field, was pointed out as the site of a possible 'fort'. This may be the last vestiges of SE sector of an originally almost circular enclosure (D c. 29m). 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
