Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

On a rise in undulating grassland. Subcircular rath (N-S 45m, E-W 42m), in fair condition, defined by a bank and external fosse. The bank is present from N through E to W; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse is visible from S to W. Quarrying has encroached upon the monument at W. Five small earthen mounds within the interior appear modern. 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
