What is recorded here

Some 150m SW of a ringfort (GA074-032----). Poorly preserved subcircular rath (E-W 41.5m, N-S 40m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The fosse survives from NW through N to SE, and the outer bank is present from N to NE and at SE. A gap (Wth 2.5m) at NNW could be original. 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
