What is recorded here

In undulating grassland. Circular rath (diam. 39m), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank and fosse are visible all round but the outer bank is only evident from S through W to NE. There is a stone-lined entrance gap (Wth 3.3m) at SE. A pathway overlies the fosse from NE to SE. A souterrain (GA095-121001-) lies in the N half of the interior. (Athy 1914, 135; McCaffrey 1952, 140, no. 45) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 13 March 2018
