What is recorded here

Rabbittes Forf stands on a Galway hilltop as a circular rath thirty metres wide, bounded by three earthen banks and two fosses. Its northeast entrance is four and a half metres wide, and a probable underground passage cuts through the interior. The structure is well preserved, suggesting deliberate building rather than casual mound-making.

On the summit of a hill in undulating grassland. According to Neary (1914, 118, no. 35), it is known as 'Woodbed Rath'. It consists of a well-preserved circular rath (D c. 30m) defined by three earthen stone-lined banks and two intervening fosses. There is a well-defined entrance (Wth 4.5m) at NE and a prabable Man-made underground passage (GA005-071001-) in the interior. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
