What is recorded here

On a gentle S-facing slope in pastureland overlooking Galway Bay. This poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 34m) is defined by a bank, which is obscured by trees and bushes from W through N to S. A gap at NW is modern. Field walls surround the monument from S through W to NW and at N. When inspected in November 1982 the interior was clear, level and featureless. However, aerial imagery (https://binged.it/2Kh8uza, accessed 26 April 2018) indicates that a number of buildings have been constructed in the W half of the interior.
