On a hillock in otherwise level bog and scrubland. This oval enclosure (80m N-S; 67m E-W), in fair condition, is defined by two banks of earth and stone and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is visible all round; the fosse is best preserved at NE, elsewhere it is visible only as a vegetation band. The outer bank survives from N to ENE but is faintly visible in the W sector. A N-S running field wall cuts through the fosse and outer bank at E. A large granite boulder lies in the centre of interior, which is rises towards the centre and slopes to the N and S. Faint traces of cultivation ridges are visible. A children's burial ground (GA097-110001-) is associated. When coupled with that of the townland name, its presence suggests that the monument may be ecclesiastical in character.

- GA097-110002: Children's burial ground, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CGA097-110002-.

According to the landowner the last burial took place around 1900. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 2 September 2019

---

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
