What is recorded here

Boston Fort stands as a thirty-four metre circular rath in gently undulating Galway grassland, its earthen bank still defining the shape long after human hands stopped shaping it. The six metre eastern gap may be an original entrance rather than a ruin, inviting entry into a space where a buried chamber waits beneath the turf. The fort feels less like a dead ruin than a paused breath, a place where the boundary between the seen and unseen thins enough for wonder to enter.

In gently undulating grassland. Circular rath (D 34m), in fair condition, defined by a bank. A gap (Wth 6m) at ENE may be original. There is a CBG (GA087-049001-) within the interior.
