What is recorded here

On a prominent hill in grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (NW-SE 45.8m, NE-SW 43.5m) defined by a scarp which is disturbed by quarrying. A field bank surrounds the monument from NE to E. A small stone-lined rectangular depression within the interior is the result of quarrying. 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
