What is recorded here
Ardnagall holds a forty-one-metre oval rath on a grassy rise, its earth bank fading beneath later field walls. The shape remains clear enough to show human hands building a boundary, though time has blurred the edges and forgotten the names of those who lived inside.
On a rise in undulating grassland. Poorly preserved oval rath (NW-SE 41m, NE-SW 31m) defined by a bank and external fosse. The bank is present from SSE through W to N; elsewhere a field bank overlies the enclosing element.
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).
