What is recorded here

Sixty metres of forgotten circle in Galway grassland. The bank survives only at the east, a thin ridge marking where the fort stood before time erased the rest. What remains is a shadow of shape, large enough to hold a life but worn smooth by centuries of rain and foottraffic.

In level grassland. A large very poorly preserved subcircular rath (N-S c. 60m) defined by a bank and external fosse. The bank survives only at E. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
