What is recorded here

Moneen holds a broken circular rath thirty-one metres wide, its southern causeway still pointing across level grassland while the eastern banks have surrendered to time. The gap is not emptiness; it is a invitation for the imagination to complete what the soil forgot. A ringfort is a claim made flesh, a boundary drawn by hands that believed ownership could be shaped. That much of the claim has erased itself makes the remaining arc more striking, not less.

In level grassland. Poorly preserved circular rath (D 31m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The fosse and outer bank do not survive from NNE through E to SSE. There is an entrance causeway at SW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
