What is recorded here

Stripe holds a subcircular rath thirty-seven metres across, its earth and stone bank quarried from the south and west to raise a boundary against the low grassland. The southeast gap may be original, inviting entry rather than marking collapse. People likely lived inside this shallow circle, watching the slope and sharing the land with the fairies local tradition still names.

On a S-facing slope in low-lying grassland. Subcircular rath (N-S 37.5m, E-W 35.5m), in fair condition, defined by a bank of earth and stone, quarried out from S to W. A gap at SE may be original. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
