What is recorded here

In undulating pastureland. Marked on the 1st edition of OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (D c. 35m). Today, a denuded scarp is visible from SSE to W but no visible surface trace survives elsewhere. A berm running just outside the scarp could indicate the former existence of a fosse. The monument is cut by a field wall at NE and SSE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). 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.
