- GA007-011: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA007-011----. On a slight NE-facing slope in grassland overlooking Lough Loung to NE. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a large roughly circular enclosure (D c. 65m). No visible surface trace survives; a large hollow marks the site. However, the field in which the site was situated is known locally as 'fort field'. 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
- GA007-012: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA007-012----. In pastureland overlooking partly drained marshland to N. Poorly preserved subcircular enclosure (N-S 112m, E-W 109m) defined by an earthen bank and external fosse. The td. boundary, running N-S, cuts the monument in half, and the area to E of it has been partly levelled and is planted with trees. The bank (H 1.5m max.) and fosse (Wth 3-4m) are well defined from S through W to N, though partially overgrown and mantled with trees. There are traces of a possible entrance (Wth 4m) at SE and of an internal division in SW quadrant. A field boundary, running E-W, also cuts through SE quadrant. 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

On an E-facing slope in pastureland. Poorly preserved enclosure, possibly subcircular in plan (N-S c. 60m). A field boundary, running N-S, cuts the monument in two and no visible trace survives to E of it.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
