What is recorded here

On a rise in hilly pastureland. This subcircular rath (45.3m E-W; 40.9m N-S), in fair condition, is defined by a bank (Wth 2.9m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.8m) and external fosse (Wth 2.5m; D 0.2m). The bank is visible all round but is overgrown with trees and field-clearance rubble has been piled against its outer face. The fosse is visible only at S. A gap (Wth 4.5) at E may be original. There is a silage pit in the interior. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 5 March 2018
