Recorded monuments

• GA031-021 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a rise in undulating grassland. Very poorly preserved circular rath (D 41m) defined by a slightly raised platform. According to local information, it was enclosed by two banks which were levelled some years ago: these are now indicated by lighter bands of vegetation, while a darker band between them probably indicates the line of a fosse. A boreen cuts the rath at ENE and SSE, to E of which a gorse-covered mound is all that survives of the monument. A ringfort (GA031-022----) lies c. 230m to SW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.

  Description

  Some 230m SW of a ringfort (GA031-021----). Very poorly preserved subcircular rath (N-S 39m) defined by an inner scarp at E; no visible surface trace survives elsewhere. An intervening fosse and outer bank survive from NE through E to S. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
