What is recorded here

Within a ringfort (GA005-072----). Neary (1914, 118, no. 35) refers to 'a spoon-shaped [sic] hollow [which] appears to indicate a dug-out souterrain'. All that is visible is a rectangular hollow (L 8m, Wth 5m), running E-W, to N of centre. However, this may be the result of modern rubbish disposal as two other areas apparently dug for this purpose were noted close by. 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
