What is recorded here
No visible stonework, only an L-shaped hollow inside a Galway ringfort: eleven metres long, three and a half wide, with a shorter branch cutting north from the east end. Someone dug or cut that angle deliberately, perhaps to hide tools, water, or a person during a storm. The earth still holds the shape of their hurry.
Within a ringfort (GA043-089----). An L-shaped hollow, long axis (L 11.4m, Wth 3.5m) running NE-Sw, short axis (L 7.7m, Wth 3.9) extending off NE end and running N-S. No stonework is visible.
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).
