What is recorded here

In undulating grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular enclosure (N-S 54m, E-W 49m) defined by a bank from WNW through N to ENE, and elsewhere by a scarp which is overlain from SSE to SW by a field boundary. An external fosse is best preserved from N to E. Traces of an outer bank survive from NNE to ENE. A N-S running field boundary cuts through the monument to W of centre. A series of earthworks, possibly associated, lie immediately to W. 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
