What is recorded here

Gardenfield holds a worn circular rath thirty-nine metres across, marked by two banks and a narrow ditch. Cattle graze the broken ring today because people cut through it and took its stones for other uses. What remained is a shallow scar in open pastureland, yet the shape still resists forgetting.

In open pastureland. Poorly preserved circular rath (D 39.3m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. A field boundary cuts the monument at NNW and SE, and no visible surface trace of the enclosing elements survives to NE of it. The interior has been extensively quarried. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
