What is recorded here

On S-facing slope in marshy grassland overlooking bogland. Aerial reconnaissance in November 1987 (ASGAP 379:3) confirmed that a number of irregular field walls depicted on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1933) formed part of a field system covering an area c. 500m N-S by c. 400m E-W. Small rectangular and irregular fields defined by low earthen banks were noted, as well as two small irregular enclosures, possibly animal pens. 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
