What is recorded here
Half a kilometre north of the village, a low earthen bank still circles a shallow ditch on a slight rise in undulating grassland. The subcircular rath measures about thirty-six metres east to west, though grass and age have blurred its edges. People may have lived there, excluded others, or simply marked the land before written memory; the ditch and bank remain as a quiet claim on the field.
On a slight rise in undulating grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (E-W 36m) defined by a low overgrown earthen bank and external fosse. The td. boundary encircles the fosse from N through E to SE.
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).
