What is recorded here
Esker holds a subcircular phantom, thirty-one to thirty-four metres across on an eastern slope. A field wall now cuts through what may have been a home or warning mark. The earth has forgotten the shape, but the boundary still leans east, waiting for someone to remember why it was drawn.
On E-facing slope of a rise. Very poorly preserved, almost levelled, subcircular rath (N-S 34m, E-W 31m) defined by a scarp, intervening fosse and faint traces of an outer bank. A field wall cuts the monument at ENE and WSW.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999).
