What is recorded here

On the summit of a low but prominent hillock in undulating grassland. Small roughly circular enclosure (D 7.6m) defined by a gravelly earthen bank. Opposing gaps at NW and SW could be original. Just S of centre is a faint mound. The siting and dimensions of the monument suggest that it may be a barrow, but it could also be the remains of a house. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
A local fairy fort (ringfort/rath); wider significance not recorded.

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