• GA004-034 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a S-facing slope in grassland. Known locally as 'Hernon's Cahir' (Neary 1914, 121, no. 71), this poorly preserved subcircular ringfort (N-S 32m, E-W 29m) is defined by a stone-faced bank. A gap at S, though modern, may have given original access. Overlooked by a ringfort (GA005-100----) which lies c. 140m to NE. 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

  Description

  On S-facing slope of a hill in grassland. Known locally as 'Hernon's Rath' (Neary 1914, 121, no. 69), this well-preserved subcircular ringfort (N-S 37m, E-W 33m) is defined by two stone-faced banks and an intervening fosse. There are traces of a scarp outside the outer bank from SE through S to SW. A gap (Wth 2m) at SSW could be original. A number of field boundaries cut the monument.

Within the interior is a CBG (GA005-099002-) and a souterrain (GA005-099001-). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
