What is recorded here

Encircling a hillock in an area of rough pastureland. This very poorly preserved oval enclosure (c. 70m E-W; c. 60m N-S) is defined by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 2m, H 1m) and an internal fosse (Wth 7.5m) from N through E to S. At S it peters out and there is no visible surface trace elsewhere but the slope appears to be scarped from NW to N. A field boundary cuts across the hillock, close to its base, at W and quarrying has encroached upon N sector. Field-clearance material is evident on the SW slope. There is a children's burial ground (GA105-020----) within the interior, on the summit. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 2 June 2017
