What is recorded here

Centrally located within a rath (GA113-013002-). When initially visited by the Survey in 1982 this souterrain was blocked up. Its entrance (Wth 3.8m; H 0.3m) was incorporated in the NW end of a low earthen bank which ran NW-SE through the interior of the monument. When revisited in 1984 most of this monument had been levelled and a barn was erected within the W half of the interior. No visible surface trace of the souterrain survived. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 14 October 2016 This monument is subject to a preservation order made under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 (PO no. 6/1984).

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
