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.
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).
