What is recorded here

Circa 100m NE of an enclosure (GA074-056----). Poorly preserved subcircular rath (E-W 33m, N-S 30m) defined by a degraded bank and external fosse which survives as a vegetation band from NNW through E to WSW. Gap (Wth 1.9m) at ESE may be original. A field boundary overlies the bank from SE through S to SSW. 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
