What is recorded here

On a gentle rise in flat pastureland, the Kilshanvy River flows by to E. Poorly preserved rectilinear enclosure (E-W 33m), the S half of which has been completely quarried away. It is defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The fosse and outer bank survive only at NW. A gap at W may mark the original entrance. There is a CBG (GA028-032001-) in the interior. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
