What is recorded here
On slightly raised ground overlooking pastureland. An almost square area (N-S 44.5m, E-W 43.6m) defined by a poorly preserved inner bank, a well-preserved flat-bottomed fosse and an outer bank which is overlain by a later field wall from SW to N. Possible stone-facing is visible on the inner bank at NNW, and the remains of a causeway at E may be original. II - North Galway'.
