• GA088-017 Enclosure
  Description

  In undulating farmland on E outskirts of Ballinasloe town. A subcircular enclosure (ENE-WSW 80.5m, SSE-NNW 78.3m), in fair condition, defined by a degraded earthen bank/scarp and a wide external fosse. The bank is visible from WNW through N to ESE. From ESE to S a straight field boundary appears to be built on the line of its inner face. A quarry pit has been dug at SSW, outside of which is a cattle shed. A scarp forms the enclosing element from SSW to WNW. The fosse survives from NNW through N to ESE. A number of breaches occur in the bank but that at NNE (Wth 7m), with a corresponding causeway across the fosse, possibly indicates the original entrance. Some outcropping rock is visible in the interior. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
