What is recorded here

In low-lying grassland. A large poorly preserved subcircular enclosure (NNW-SSE 78m) defined by a drystone wall from WNW through N to SSE. Gap at ENE appears modern. A field wall cuts the monument at WNW and SSE, to SW of which the enclosing element is visible only as a grassed-over bank. A CBG (GA056-092002-) lies in E sector of the interior. When coupled with the td. name, the physical remains suggest that the monument is ecclesiastical in nature. II - North Galway'.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA056-072001
