What is recorded here

On a hill summit in grassland. An almost circular rath (39.6m E-W; 38m NNW-SSE), in fair condition, defined by a bank and external fosse. The bank is visible from NNW to SSE, elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. A field boundary cuts through the monument at NNW and SSE. A gap (Wth 2.9m) at SE may be original. Within the centre of the interior is a souterrain (GA128-070001-). A graveyard (GA128-069----) lies c. 40m to the SE. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 13 March 2018
