What is recorded here

Close to summit of a low ridge. Poorly preserved subcircular enclosure (E-W 17m, N-S 14m) defined by a broad low earthen bank (Wth 5m, H 0.4m). The interior is slightly dished in profile. A line of granite boulders, possibly part of a field wall, runs off from the enclosure at SE. There is a standing stone (GA022-099----) immediately to ESE and a stone pair (GA022-023----) to NW. I - West Galway'.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA022-024
