What is recorded here

Moneyveen holds a broken circular rath twenty-four metres across, marked by two banks and a ditch on a grassy hillock. The outer bank has vanished at the west and north, exposing the interior to rain and memory. A seven-metre rectangular hollow lies in the northwest quadrant, perhaps hiding an underground passage that may have served the fort’s people or fed later fairy tales.

On a hillock in undulating grassland. Poorly preserved circular rath (D 24.3m) (GA073-142----) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The outer bank does not survive at W or N. In NW quadrant of the interior is a rectangular hollow (L 7m), long axis running NE-SW; a possible Man-made underground passage (GA073-142001-). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
