The one at Moneyveen in County Galway went considerably further. This rath, sitting on a natural rise in gently rolling pastureland, was originally defined by three concentric banks and three fosses, the term for the ditches dug between them. That kind of multiple enclosure, sometimes called a multivallate rath, is far less common than the single-bank variety, and its presence here hints at a site of some local significance in the early medieval period, when ringforts were in active use, broadly from around the fifth to the twelfth century.

The site measures thirty-three metres in diameter and survives in fair condition, though the centuries have not been equally kind to every part of it. The earthworks are best preserved along the north-eastern to south-eastern arc, where the sequence of banks and ditches remains readable in the landscape. Moving around towards the north and north-west, a later field wall has been built directly over the middle bank, absorbing it into the everyday geometry of agricultural land division. The outermost bank and fosse have fared worse still on the south-eastern to north-eastern stretch, where no surface trace survives at all. A possible entrance gap at the north-north-west may mark where people and animals once passed through the layered defences, though without excavation it is difficult to be certain.
