Structure in Belview OR Lissareaghaun

Structure

What is recorded here

Belview holds one of three rectangular structures inside a rath, marked by a grassy bank on three sides and a thistle-filled depression in the middle. The missing west edge suggests collapse, reuse or deliberate erasure rather than simple age. People may have stood beside it, pointed at the hollow ground and argued about what it held before it stopped holding anything visible.
One of three structures (see also GA100-037001- and GA100-037002-) located within the centre of the interior of a rath (GA100-037----). This one is roughly rectangular in plan (6.4m E-W; 6.3m N-S) and is defined by a grassy bank along its N, E and S sides. No visible trace of the W side survives. Within the interior is a thistle-filled depression. This structure is c. 4m to the W of GA100-037001-. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 26 August 2019
