What is recorded here

Killagh House is a broken circular rath on a Galway ridge, its two banks and central ditch surviving only from south-south-east through west while a trackway still cuts across the northern gap. The missing earth may have fed nearby fields or simply dissolved under grass and rain, yet the remaining curve suggests a place set aside rather than casually walked through. Someone may have lived, hidden or marked time within that shallow bowl before the land took it back.

On a ridge in grassland. Poorly preserved circular rath (D c. 36m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The fosse and outer bank survive from SSE through S to W, no visible surface trace survives elsewhere. A trackway cuts the monument from N through E to SSE. The enclosing elements are breached by numerous gaps. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
