What is recorded here

Thirty-four metres of forgotten wall still circles Atticorra, though farm boundaries have cut through its eastern skin and time has softened the rest into grass. The stony mound at its heart may mark buried chambers or cleared fields, but the shape remains intentional: a place set apart, built to hold something valuable or exclude something dangerous.

In gently undulating grassland. Very poorly preserved circular rath (D 34m) defined by a degraded bank from SSW through N to NE, and elsewhere by a scarp. A field boundary cuts the monument at NE and SE, and the td. boundary overlies it at S. Centrally placed within the interior is a stony mound (L 11m), probably the result of field clearance. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
