What is recorded here

On a low hillock overlooking a lake to the NE. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (39.5m N-S; 36m E-W) defined by a bank of earth and stone from SW through N to E. Stone-facing is evident on the inner face of the bank at N. Traces of the N side of a possible stone-lined entrance gap are visible at E. Immediately to the S of this a large pit has been dug into the monument and no trace of the bank survives. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 18 December 2017
