What is recorded here

Sheeaun Hill in Craughwell, County Galway, carries a broken earthen ringfort where two banks and a ditch once enclosed a small life. The earth has swallowed much of the structure, leaving only a scarp and faint traces for the wind to erase. People may have lived inside that circle before the grass reclaimed the boundary, turning human effort into a gentle hill.

In grassland encompassing the summit of a hillock, known locally as 'Sheeaun Hill'. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (47m N-S; 45m E-W) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is extant from SE to SSW; from N to SE a scarp forms the enclosing element and no visible surface trace survives from SSW to N. The fosse and outer bank only survive from S to WSW. A trackway cuts through the line of the fosse and outer bank from NE to SE. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 1 December 2017
