What is recorded here

On a slight rise in undulating pastureland. Circular rath (diam. c. 35m), in fair condition, defined by a grass-covered bank and external fosse; a field wall overlies the site of the latter from NNW to NNE. A gap (Wth 1.7m) at ENE may be original. When inspected in 1974 a slight bank of earth and stone (L 9m) was noted extending from the fosse at S and curving slightly to the W (SMR file). It was possibly the remains of an annexe. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 7 December 2017
