What is recorded here

In undulating pastureland, c. 500m W of the Ahascragh River. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a roughly oval enclosure. All that survives is an oval area (N-S 34m, E-W 30m) defined by a slight rise. A low bank runs roughly N-S through the interior. According to local tradition, this is the site of a 'fort'. 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
