What is recorded here

On a rise in undulating grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (E-W 38m, N-S 34m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank survives from SSE through S to SW. Elsewhere a scarp, overlain by a field wall from W to N, forms the enclosing element. The fosse and outer bank survive only at SW. A megalithic structure (GA005-095----) lies c. 50m to E. 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
