What is recorded here

Quarter-mile of forgotten life. Forty metres across on level grassland, the bank still curves from north through east to southeast before dissolving into a shallow scarp. The northwest edge has been quarried away, perhaps for wall stone or road metal, leaving the circle open to that direction. A small chambered tomb sits inside the rath, its stones waiting for the dead long after the living stopped coming. The fairies may have taken the rest.

In level grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (E-W 40m, N-S 38m) defined by bank from N through E to SE. Elsewhere a scarp (H < 1.5m), quarried out at NW, forms the enclosing element. There is a CBG (GA074-004001-) within the interior. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
