What is recorded here

Within a ringfort (GA042-220----). Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1920) as a small dot in NE part of the interior. In the course of levelling S sector of the rath, c. five years ago, the owner discovered a stone-built 'cave' running N towards the centre from just inside the enclosing bank. Subsequently sealed and no visible trace survives. 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

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
