What is recorded here

In low-lying marshland. When visited in July 1992, this fulacht fia consisted the remains of a horseshoe-shaped mound (10m N-S; 3m E-W; H 0.6m) opening to the W. It was defined by two low grass-covered mounds partially connected at E by a low rise. The trough area, trapezoidal in plan, was 3m wide at the mouth and narrowed to 1.3m at the back. The monument was subsequently bulldozed in 1995 (information from Prof. Rynne). Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 27 November 2019
