What is recorded here

Thirty metres southeast stands a second ringfort, suggesting a small cluster of dwellings rather than a lonely fairy trick. The main circle measures twenty-four and a half metres across, with two banks and a ditch that still hold their shape best at the northwest. A field boundary now cuts through the earth at the northeast and southwest, reminding us that human needs have always rearranged sacred or useful space. The southeast-facing slope catches morning light before the surrounding grassland, a gentle advantage for anyone choosing where to build.

On SE-facing slope of a hill in otherwise level grassland. Poorly preserved circular rath (D 24.5m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is present at SE and from W to N; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse and outer bank are best preserved at NW. A field boundary cuts the monument at NNE and SSW. A ringfort (GA015-025----) lies c. 30m to SE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
