What is recorded here

On a gentle NE-facing slope in grassland. Almost circular rath (N-S 27m, E-W 26m), in fair condition, defined by a bank and external fosse. The bank survives from W through N to NNE; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse is visible from NNE through E to S. A ringfort (GA007-111----) lies c. 100m to SSW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
