What is recorded here

On a rise in pastureland. Marked on the OS 6-inch maps as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m). According to local information this monument was bulldozed in the early 1960s when it survived as a ring of bushes and possibly a low bank. No visible surface trace survives but its outline is visible on aerial photography taken in 2011 (Google Earth 2019). Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 17 June 2019

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