What is recorded here

On slightly raised ground overlooking pastureland. An almost square area (N-S 44.5m, E-W 43.6m) defined by a poorly preserved inner bank, a well-preserved flat-bottomed fosse and an outer bank which is overlain by a later field wall from SW to N. Possible stone-facing is visible on the inner bank at NNW, and the remains of a causeway at E may be original. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
