What is recorded here

On the E-facing slope of a rise in undulating grassland. This subcircular rath (54.9m E-W; 52m N-S), in fair condition, is defined by an overgrown bank (base Wth 4.4m at NW; int. H 0.55m; ext. H 0.84m) from E through S to N. A field wall cuts through the monument at N and NE and no visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives to the N of it. A gap at ESE appears to be modern. Possible internal divisions are evident. A later field wall (H at E 1.95m; Wth 1.6m) encircles the bank. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 25 January 2018
