What is recorded here

On W end of an E-W running ridge, 140m SSE of another ringfort (GA029-100----). Very poorly preserved oval rath (E-W c. 31m, N-S c. 24m) defined by a bank with possible traces of a second. A field boundary, running N-S, cuts the monument at NNW and SSW, and all that is visible to E of it is a wide gravelly scar marking the line of one, possibly two levelled banks. To W of it, the arc of a bank still survives, curving from SSW through W to NNW, outside of which another surface scar again suggests the former presence of an outer bank. II - North Galway'.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA029-102
