What is recorded here
Thirty-six metres of earth rise on an east-facing slope in Castletogher, marked by cattle gaps and radiating field walls. The fort still holds its shape beneath grass and traffic, a round room large enough for life but no longer owned by one visible hand.
On E-facing slope of a low hill in undulating grassland. Circular rath (D 36m), in fair condition, defined by an overgrown earthen bank breached by numerous cattle gaps. Field walls radiate from the monument at NW and E.
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).
