What is recorded here

On a gentle E-facing slope in pastureland. Poorly preserved irregularly shaped rath (30.2m NNW-SSE; 28.9m ENE-WSW) defined by an earthen bank. A field wall cuts through the monument at NW and SW and no visible surface trace of the bank survives to the W of it. Along the S sector, the enclosing bank appears to be straight. To the S of it there is a possible annexe, rectangular in plan (ENE-WSW 22.5m; NNW-SSE 19.7m). It is defined by a bank of similar construction to the rath and it contains a souterrain (GA104-182001-) in its W half. (Knox and Redington 1916, 180; McCaffrey 1952, 237, no. 100) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 18 January 2018
