What is recorded here

On a slight rise in undulating grassland. Very poorly preserved enclosure defined by two banks and an intervening fosse which survive for only a 6m stretch at NW. The remainder of the monument has been extensively quarried away and an irregular scarp is all that survives of S half. Lerhin Castle (GA018-036----) lies to W. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
