What is recorded here

On a rise in otherwise low-lying grassland. This fairly well-preserved, almost circular rath (31m N-S; 30m E-W) is defined by a bank (Wth 4m; int. int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.3m) which is overlain by a field boundary. A road skirts the monument at SW. A gap (Wth 4m) at NE could be original. A possible collapsed souterrain (GA117-057001-) lies in the S sector of the interior. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 9 January 2018
