Recorded monuments

• GA017-071 Hilltop enclosure
  Description

  On a low hill surrounded by flat bogland. An oval enclosure (E-W 112m, N-S 95m), in fair condition, defined by a bank/scarp, an intervening fosse and outer bank. The inner bank survives as a low denuded bank/scarp (H c. 0.3m max.) except from N to NE where an attempt was made to level it, and at W where a disused silage pit now stands. The fosse is shallow (Wth 4-8.5m) but intact save at W, and at WNW where it is overlain by a modern causeway. The outer bank (Wth 2.3m, H 1.3m max.) is incorporated into a modern field boundary. A CBG (GA017-071001-) lies in NE quadrant of the interior and a probable souterrain (GA017-071002-) is also associated. While the presence of the CBG and probable souterrain might indicate an early ecclesiastical connection, the size and location of the enclosure suggest a prehistoric origin. (Neary 1914, 113-14, no. 139) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
