What is recorded here

On a slight hill in reclaimed pastureland. According to McCaffrey (1952, 29, no. 19b; 1955, 225), this circular ring-barrow (diam. c. 23m), comprising a low flat-topped mound (diam. c. 14m; H 0.3m) encircled by a fosse and external bank, was overgrown with furze. Cultivation ridges ran across it and numerous pits were visible in its S and W sectors. It was further damaged by an 'old ditch' which cut across it at S. No visible surface trace survives. Another ring-barrow (GA104-242001-) lies c. 24m to the S. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 15 August 2019
