What is recorded here

On a slight rise in undulating farmland. Poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 34m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank, which is planted with trees, is visible from ESE through S to SW; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse and outer bank survive from ESE through S to NNW. A gap at E appears to be modern. There is a silage pit in the NE quadrant of the interior. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 4 January 2018
