What is recorded here

On a ridge in grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (N-S 55m, ESE-WNW 52.2m) defined by a bank and external fosse. The bank survives from ESE through S to WSW; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse survives from S to WNW. Numerous breaches in the bank appear modern. The td. boundary wall cuts the monument at ESE and WNW. 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
