Building

What is recorded here

On level ground 30m S of, and below, a castle site (GA018-036----). Poorly preserved subrectangular enclosure (N-S 15.8m, E-W 14.8m) defined by a low bank of earth and an external fosse except at N where it appears to have been levelled. The interior is flat save for a slight hollow in NE sector. There are faint traces of a slight raised triangular area adjoining it on E side. Possibly the foundations of a building. (CUCAP AYQ 72) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA018-036004

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
