What is recorded here

Some 180m NE of a ringfort (GA007-123----). Almost circular rath (E-W 35.5m, N-S 35m), in fair condition, defined by a bank from W through N to NNE and at SE; elsewhere a degraded scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse survives from NW to N and from E to SE. Field boundaries surround the enclosing elements at W and SE. Quarrying has encroached upon the monument at 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
