What is recorded here

Quarrying has bitten into the southeast bank, but the subcircular rath still holds its shape thirty-five metres across in Perssepark. The southern gap remains two metres wide, perhaps an intentional doorway rather than a collapse, while a shallow eastern depression hints at a forgotten moat. People may have lived inside this earthen ring before stones were taken from it, leaving behind a boundary that resists erasure despite the scars on its skin.

Circa 100m SSE of an enclosure (GA087-208----). Subcircular rath (E-W 35m, N-S 31m), in fair condition, defined by a bank. A shallow depression at E may indicate an external fosse. A gap (Wth 2m) at S could be original. Quarrying has encroached upon the enclosing element at SE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
