• GA082-104 Enclosure
  Description

  Located in the floodplain on the W bank of the river Corrib in an area of very rough wet grassland and low overgrowth. This possible enclosure appears as a cropmark on Google Earth aerial imagery taken in 2012 (Google 2018). It is roughly subrectangular in plan (c. 37m NNE-SSW; c. 32m WNW-ESE) and is defined by a darker band of vegetation. A NW-SE running drain curves around it from E to N and then continues northwards to the lake. Not visible at ground level. Another cropmark enclosure (GA082-108----) lies c. 225m to the SE.

  Description

  Located in the floodplain of the river Corrib, on a pronounced bend on the W bank, in an area of very rough wet grassland and low overgrowth. This enclosure appears as a cropmark on Google Earth imagery (Google 2018). It is almost circular in plan (int. dims. c. 24.9m E-W; c. 23.3m N-S; overall dims. c. 40m E-W; 37m N-S) and it is defined by an inner fosse, intervening bank and outer fosse. An ‘avenue-like’ feature or causeway (L c. 51m; Wth c. 7.6m), aligned WNW-ESE, extends off it at E. It is also defined by two fosses and an intervening bank. Not visible at ground level. This monument was brought to our attention by Maciek Czarnota and Claire Kelly. Another possible cropmark enclosure (GA082-104----) lies c. 225m to the NW.
