What is recorded here

On the summit of a hillock in undulating grassland. Circular rath (D 34m) (GA073-138----), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank survives at W and N; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The outer bank survives intermittently and is best preserved at S. A gap (Wth 2m) at E appears original. Within the interior, a rectangular hollow (L 9m), long axis running E-W, is possibly the remains of a souterrain (GA073-138001-). 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: 22 October 2022
