What is recorded here

On a low ridge in grassland. Roughly circular rath (diam. c. 42m), in fair condition, defined by two banks of earth and stone and an intervening fosse. The fosse and outer bank only survive from SSW to WSW. A number of gaps occur in the inner bank, that at S may be original. A possible internal division is visible in W half of the interior. (McCaffrey 1952, 181, no. 12) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 5 January 2017
