What is recorded here

In rocky pastureland. Marked as a D-shaped field on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map; on the 1933 edition it is more irregular in outline. Described by Cody (1989, 299-300, no. 123) as a subcircular enclosure (49m E-W; 43m N-S) defined by a grassed-over stony bank (Wth 2-2.5m; H 0.5m) with short stretches of drystone walling at NE and NW. A rectangular annexe (14m E-W; 10m N-S) defined by a low grassed-over bank abutted it at E and a farm trackway cut across it from E to W. Cody (ibid.) was unsure of the date of the enclosure but noted the possibility that it might have been a cashel. It was removed between 1977 and 1983 in the course of land reclamation. No visible surface trace survives. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 6 August 2019
