What is recorded here

In reclaimed farmland. Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 211, no. 54) as a circular ‘Earthen fort’ (diam. 56.7m) defined by two earthen banks and an intervening fosse. Apparently levelled during field-clearance operations. No visible surface trace survives. However, its ouline is clearly visible as a cropmark on aerial imagey taken in 2018 (Google 2019). There is a ring-barrow (GA104-020----) c. 40m to ESE. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Updated by: Olive Alcock Date of revised upload: 9 August 2019
