What is recorded here

On a gentle rise in pastureland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (44.5m N-S; 40m E-W) defined by a low bank (base Wth 4.5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.6m) that is clearly visible from SE through W to NNE. A field wall cuts through the monument at NNE and SE and to the E of it some traces of the bank are evident. Stone-facing is visible on both faces of the bank at NW and on the inner face at N. No trace of the fosse survives. There is a Man-made underground passage (GA113-188001-) within the N half of the interior. (McCaffrey 1952, 278, no. 15a) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 11 April 2018
