Recorded monuments

• GA133-011 Field boundary
  Description

  On a slight E-facing slope in pastureland. Marked on the 1921 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a possible enclosure (diam. c. 47m) defined by curving field boundaries. On inspection in May 1992 no visible surface trace survived as the area had been cleared during land reclamation works. However, the outline of its W half is visible on the OSi digitialglobe aerial photograph. It was possibly a circular field. The evidence is insufficient to warrant accepting this as an archaeological monument. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 10 April 2019
