What is recorded here
Magic and memory are entangled in this place. The facts remove illusion but they do not remove life. What is left is a living chamber where imagination and memory still move.
In low-lying grassland. Well-preserved subcircular rath (NNW-SSE 38m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. No visible surface trace of the outer bank survives at ESE or SW. Gap at E could be original. A field wall abuts the monument at W. A CBG (GA056-129001-) is associated.
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).
