What is recorded here

In pastureland. According to McCaffrey (1952, 25, no. 136; 1955, 222), this was a circular ring-barrow (diam. 20.5m) defined by a low flat-topped mound (diam. 8.8m; H 0.9m) encircled by a fosse and external bank; the NW half of the monument was destroyed during construction of the railway line which cuts across it from NE to WSW. No visible surface trace survives. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 9 August 2019

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
