H 1.6-1.8m) which is overgrown with trees and piled with field clearance material. A shallow dip at E and W indicates the line of a possible external fosse and a very slight rise from SSE to S an outer bank. The interior slopes toward the centre and is partially overgrown and stony. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 16 August 2019
