What is recorded here

On a slight rise in low-lying pastureland. Poorly preserved oval rath (c. 60m E-W; c. 50m N-S) defined by a bank outside of which runs a berm-like feature from WNW through N to ENE. There is a possible house site (GA106-060002-) in the N sector of the interior and to its W a low circular grassed-covered stony mound (diam. 4m); it may be associated. A souterrain (GA106-060001-) lies in ENE sector. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 8 December 2017
