What is recorded here
On a steep-sided hillock in grassland, formerly demesne land. A small almost circular enclosure (E-W 14m, N-S 13m), in fair condition, defined by an earthen bank (H 1.2m ext., Wth 0.8m) except at SE where a scarp forms the enclosing element. A number of tree stumps are visible on the line of the bank. Probably a tree-ring but the morphology and siting are striking.
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).
