What is recorded here

On an E-facing slope in undulating grassland overlooking bog to SW. Well-preserved subcircular rath (N-S 59m, E-W 56m) defined by two banks of earth and stone and an intervening fosse. A gap (Wth 3.8m) at E appears original. A field bank overlies the outer bank from N to NE. Two earthen banks, possibly associated, radiate from the monument at S and SW. 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
