What is recorded here

On a gentle W-facing slope in undulating grassland. A poorly preserved subcircular enclosure (E-W 27.7m, N-S 26m) defined by the foundations of a drystone wall (Wth 0.95m), except from E to S where a series of low mounds form the enclosing element. It is best preserved from S to SSW. Field walls abut the monument at NW, NNE and S. In the large field to SW, a series of low grassed-over stony banks, covering an area c. 100m sq., form several small rectangular and irregular fields; possibly 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). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
A local fairy fort (ringfort/rath); wider significance not recorded.
