What is recorded here

No visible opening or chamber survives, but a seven-metre flat hollow lies inside the rath, narrow enough to suggest a passage rather than a ditch. The surrounding bank, fosse and field wall remain clear on the grassy rise, giving the place the shape of a made boundary rather than a random depression. Whatever entered or left through that hidden line has stopped answering, leaving only a shallow shadow in the earth.

On a rise in undulating grassland. Circular rath (D 37.5m), in fair condition, defined by an inner scarp, intervening fosse and outer bank. The latter is overlain by a field wall from SW through W to NE. Either of two gaps at SE and SSE could be original. Within SE quadrant of the interior, a linear flat-bottomed hollow (L 7.9m, Wth 2.3m), running NNW-SSE, is visible: a possible Man-made underground passage. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
