What is recorded here

In undulating farmland. A poorly preserved oval enclosure (NW-SE 33.5m, NNE-SSW 31.5m) defined by a bank best preserved at NW. Though there are steep scarps immediately outside the line of the bank from S to NW, they are probably modern and the result of the construction of a byroad which skirts the monument at S, and a farmyard which lies 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
