What is recorded here

On top of a prominent hillock in rolling grassland. Poorly preserved circular earthwork (D 15m) cut by a road at E and W: no visible surface trace survives to S of the road. To N of it, traces of a fosse and outer bank are visible curving from NW through N to NE, around the base of the hillock. A separate bank runs off the outer bank at NE, following a slightly curved but roughly E-W axis. A CBG (GA017-119001-) is associated. 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
