What is recorded here

In gently rolling pastureland. Marked on the OS 6-inch maps as a subcircular enclosure (c. 46m NW-SE; c. 35m NE-SW) cut from NE to SE by a road. Knox’s plan (1918, 122, no. 24) suggests that it was defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. It was levelled sometime between 1970 and 1978 (Cody 1989, 276, no. 100). A house has been built on the site and no visible surface trace survives. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 5 March 2019
