What is recorded here

On SE-facing slope of a hill in otherwise level grassland. Poorly preserved circular rath (D 24.5m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is present at SE and from W to N; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse and outer bank are best preserved at NW. A field boundary cuts the monument at NNE and SSW. A ringfort (GA015-025----) lies c. 30m to SE. 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
