What is recorded here

Just off the summit of a small hillock in undulating grassland, some 100m SSW of a ringfort (GA042-168----). A small subcircular enclosure (N-S 7m), in fair condition, defined by a bank of earth and stone (H 0.2-0.45m int.) A gap at N appears modern. Probably a house, but the possibility of it being a barrow cannot be totally ruled out. II - North Galway'.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA042-171
