What is recorded here
On a hillock in low-lying grassland. Marked on OS 6-inch maps as a tree-planted enclosure. What survives is a poorly preserved subcircular enclosure (E-W 43.5m, N-S 40.5m) defined by a modern drystone wall. However, this appears to overlie an earlier wall, the presence of which is indicated by a spread of stone from SW to N. The footings of the original wall (Wth 1.6m) are visible at W. The interior is still planted with trees.
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).
