- GA044-062 Moated site
Description
In low-lying marshy farmland, just S of a small stream. Poorly preserved rectangular moated site (E-W 51m, N-S 43.5m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse best preserved at N. No visible surface trace of S half of the monument survives due to extensive quarrying. A field wall overlies the outer bank at E and NW, and spoil dredged from the stream has been piled up along N side. A gap (Wth 2m) in the inner bank at N may be original. A series of internal divisions, a graveyard (GA044-062001-) and a corn kiln are visible within W half of the interior. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
