- GA029-039 Ringfort - rath
Description
In level grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (NW-SE 25m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is present from SW to W; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse and outer bank survive from SW through N to NE. A silage pit occupies NE quadrant of the interior. A ringfort (GA029-040----) lies c. 230m to WSW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
- GA029-040 Ringfort - rath
Description
Some 230m WSW of a ringfort (GA029-039----). Circular rath (D 29m), in fair condition, defined by a bank and external fosse. The bank survives from S through W to NE, and the fosse is visible from SW to W. Quarrying has encroached upon the monument from NE to S. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
