• GA061-090 Enclosure
  Description

  Circa 80m N of ecclesiastical remains (GA061-089001-). A large poorly preserved roughly circular enclosure (D c. 91m) now subdivided by modern fields and cut through at NNW and SSE by the county road. The line of the enclosure is clearly defined to E of the road where it has been incorporated into a bush-covered earth and stone bank which curves from NNW through E to SSE. This bank also forms the td. boundary, and is best defined from N to E (H 1.5m max.). From S to W, it has been levelled and a modern house is built on its line. From W to NNW it is defined by a low scarp (H 0.1m). The size of this enclosure and its proximity to GA061-089001- suggests that it too may have been ecclesiastical in character. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
