What is recorded here

In N half of a ringfort (GA030-098----). It consists of two contiguous overgrown rectangular hollows (each L c. 9m, Wth 2.1m) averaging 0.5m in depth. The SE hollow follows a roughly E-W axis, while the NW hollow runs off on a NW-SE axis from its W end. Large amounts of limestone boulders were noted, possibly derived from collapsed side-walls. 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
