On N-facing slope of a hill in grassland. Known locally as 'Demesne Fort' (Neary 1914, 116, no. 88), this subcircular rath (E-W 56m, N-S 50.5m), in fair condition, is defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank survives from SE through S to W; elsewhere a scarp, overlain by a field wall at N, forms the enclosing element. The outer bank survives from WNW through N to NE. Of the three causeways over the fosse, the S example could be original. A possible CBG (GA017-050001-) is associated.
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).
