What is recorded here
Indicated is a faded thirty-seven-metre ring in Galway grassland, old enough to have lost most of its shape but still drawing the eye. It may have held a family, a herdsman or a forgotten claim to land. What remains is a shallow circle, neither hidden nor proud, waiting for someone to walk its line and remember that people once lived there.
In level grassland. Very poorly preserved circular rath (D 37m) defined by a degraded bank.
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).
