What is recorded here

In scrub and rock outcrop. Marked on OS 6-inch maps as a circular enclosure (D c. 30m) overlain throughout by a field wall. Apart from an arc of rubble at E, inside of which is a souterrain (GA056-101001-), no visible surface trace survives. The monument was probably a cashel. 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
