What is recorded here

In grassland. Marked on the 1896 resurvey of the OS 6-inch map as a partially levelled circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) cut by a NE-SW running field boundary at NE and W. No trace is indicated to the NW of the boundary. While described by Lynch Athy (1914, 136) as being completely levelled rath for cultivation, it still could just be traced. However, when visited by McCaffrey (1952, 115) no visible surface trace survived. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 11 March 2019
