What is recorded here

Indicated is a circular rath in County Galway, Ireland, where an earth and stone bank still rings low-lying grassland. Its eastern gap may be an original entrance, while the western breach appears modern, as if the fort kept one door and lost another. People may have lived, hidden or remembered there before the grass took the shape back.
In low-lying grassland. Circular rath (diam. 27.5m), in fair condition, defined by a bank of earth and stone with traces of an external fosse visible from SW to WSW. A gap (Wth 1.9m) at ESE may be original, while another at WSW appears to be modern. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 14 October 2016
