What is recorded here

In undulating grassland, some 20m to the S of another rath (GA107-178----). Marked on the 3rd edition of the OS 6-inch map (1945) as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) and known locally as a ‘fort’. All that survives is a roughly subcircular area (43m N-S; 25.5m E-W) defined by a degraded scarp. Traces of a fosse survive from S through W to N. Field banks cut across the monument from W to E and from NNE to SSE. The monument was levelled c. 1950. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 13 April 2018
