What is recorded here

Indicated is a worn circular rath on a hillock above the Abbert River, large enough to hold a house, a herd and a hundred ordinary days. A road now cuts through its southern bank, reducing the fort to a memory marked by grass and a buried chamber. It remains a place where human life still echoes, even when the stones no longer speak plainly.
On a hillock some 25m N of the Abbert River. Poorly preserved circular rath (D c. 40m) defined by a bank and external fosse. A road cuts the encloing elements at S. A CBG (GA058-034001-) lay within the interior. 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
