What is recorded here

On a slight S-facing slope in gently undulating mixed farmland. Described by Knox (1918b, 117, no. 15) as a poorly preserved 'rectangular enclosure' (c. 77m E-W; c. 68.5m N-S) with a 'square stone' annexe (L/Wth c. 23m) at NW. The latter was built around a low natural platform. No visible surface trace survives. (Cody 1989, 387, no. 172) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 11 February 2019
