On the summit of a low hill. Subcircular rath (N-S 39m, E-W 34m), in fair condition, defined by an inner scarp, intervening fosse and outer bank. A gap at NE may be original. Within the interior, a rectangular hollow (L 6.7m, Wth 4.6m), running E-W, is possibly the result of disturbance (OPW Topgr. Files). Quarrying has encroached upon the monument at NE, and a trackway cuts it at N. Prof. Rynne (pers. comm.) notes it may be 'a ceremonial site'. (Claffey 1983, 160-1) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.

In grassland. In existence in 1574 when it was in the possession of 'Tege Mc Wm OKelly' (Nolan 1901b, 122).

On a SE-facing slope in gently undulating grassland. Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1931) as an oval enclosure (E-W c. 50m, N-S c. 35m).

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.
