What is recorded here

Some 180m NW of a ringfort (GA044-028----). Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as an oval enclosure (N-S c. 40m, E-W c. 30m). What survives is a bank and external fosse from N through E to SSE. A field wall cuts the monument at N and SSE, and no visible surface trace survives to W of it. 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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
