What is recorded here

Enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Tuam, County Roscommon, Ireland. The 1837 Ordnance Survey map drew an oval enclosure about sixty metres long with trees on the perimeter, while the 1914 map showed a circular feature about fifty-five metres across. The gentle east-facing slope now carries pasture that hides the earthworks from ground-level view.

Marked as an oval enclosure (diam. c. 60m NW-SE: c. 35m NE-SW) with trees on the perimeter on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and as a circular feature (diam. c. 55m) on the 1914 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Situated on a gentle E-facing slope, it is not visible at ground level in pasture. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
