- GA029-116 Ringfort - rath
Description
On W-facing slope of a ridge in grassland. Very poorly preserved circular rath (D 36.5m) defined by a bank and external fosse. Quarrying has encroached upon the enclosing elements at NW and E. Causeway over the fosse at ESE appears modern. A ringfort (GA029-118----) lies c. 170m to SE. 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
- GA029-117 Ringfort - rath
Description
Some 350m NE of a ringfort (GA029-116----). Very poorly preserved rath defined by two banks and an intervening fosse which survive only from W to N, where a field bank cuts the monument. No visible surface trace survives elsewhere, apart from a 5m section of bank at NE which may be associated. 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
