What is recorded here

In undulating grassland, formerly part of Eyrecourt Demesne. Circular rath (diam. 37m), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is visible from SE through W to NE; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse survives from SW to NE and sections of the outer bank are evident from SW to W and at NNW. A trackway runs immediately outside the inner bank from SE to SW and a field wall cuts through the monument at NE and SE. Gaps in the inner bank at W (Wth 2.5m) and N (Wth 3.4m) are modern. There is a souterrain (GA108-075001-) in the WNW sector of the interior. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 12 December 2017
