What is recorded here

On a N-facing slope in grassland. Subcircular rath (34.4m E-W; 32.3m N-S), in fair condition, defined by a bank and fosse. The bank is visible from NE through E to SSW; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse survives from NNE to SW. A stream surrounds the monument from N to NE and a modern trackway cuts through it at SW and E. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 6 March 2018
