What is recorded here

In undulating grassland immediately W of a stream. Very poorly preserved almost circular rath (N-S c. 40m, E-W c. 39m) defined by a scarp and external fosse. A low ill-defined mound, evident from SE through S to W, may indicate traces of an outer bank. A gap (Wth c. 6m) and possible causeway at WNW may be original. 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
