What is recorded here

On a rise in undulating grassland. Very poorly preserved subcircular rath (E-W c. 61m, N-S c. 50m) defined by a bank at SSE, and by a quarried-out scarp from S through W to WNW. A field boundary cuts the monument at NW and E and only a vegetation band survives to NE of it. There is a souterrain (GA004-022001-) within the interior. 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
