On a hillock in grassland W of a stream. Subcircular ringfort (ENE-WSW 29m, NNW-SSE 25.8m), in fair condition, defined by a bank of earth and stone and external fosse. The bank survives from SSE through W to N; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse is visible from SE through S to SW. The monument has been quarried out at N and SSE. According to local tradition, there is a 'cave' (possible souterrain) within the interior of which no visible surface trace survives. 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

On a hillock in grassland. Irregularly shaped rath (E-W 42.5m, N-S 24.7m), in fair condition, defined by a bank which survives from E through S to NNW, and elsewhere by a scarp. Quarrying has encroached upon the monument at NW. Either of two gaps at SE and SSW, though modern, could have given original access. There is a probable souterrain (GA080-189001-) in the interior. Another ringfort (GA086-195----) lies 180m to WNW. (ASGAP 171:28) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.

Traces of stonework are visible intermittently along its sides and a large capstone-like slab delimits its ENE end. Just S of the latter, another slab is visible in a clump of overgrowth.

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.
