What is recorded here

In reclaimed pastureland overlooking a turlough to the E. Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 218-19, no. 1a) as a ‘Stone fort’ (diam. 49.4m overall) defined by two concentric drystone walls. An internal wall ran N-S through the interior. The monument has been almost completely cleared as a result of field-clearance operations and only a section at NE now survives. Both walls are in a collapsed state and lie c. 7m apart. There is a souterrain (GA104-074002-) in the N half of the interior. According to Redington (1916a, 52), the interior was once used as a graveyard (GA104-074003-). Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 9 January 2017
