- GA017-144 Platform
Description
In pastureland. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a small circular earthwork (D c. 20m) surmounted by a trigonometrical station. Along with GA017-145----, it was described by Neary (1914, 116, no. 156) as 'circular, earthen raths … now mere mounds 6 ft. [1.82m] above roadway in Prospect demesne'. What is visible is a small circular platform (D 8.9m), in fair condition, defined by a scarp (H 1.2m max.). There is a small circular grassed-over heap of stone (D 1.2m, H 0.2m) in N half of the interior: possibly a house or a landscape feature. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
