• GA086-187 Ringfort - unclassified
  Description

  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'.
