What is recorded here

On a rise in undulating grassland. Poorly preserved irregular enclosure (N-S 28m, E-W 22m int.) defined by an inner earthen bank, intervening berm and outer collapsed stone wall. The inner bank survives at E and S; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The berm and outer wall survive except 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
