What is recorded here

Doansheedy Fort is a 48-metre circular rath on a south-facing Galway slope, its outer bank still tracing west through north to east while the inner ring has vanished beneath grass and forgetfulness. Cows graze the vanished doorway now, unaware they walk across the threshold McCaffrey marked decades ago. The fort keeps its shape in stone and soil even though human memory has thinned to a single survey line. What was hidden there may still be waiting for someone stubborn enough to dig through the forgetting.

On a S-facing slope in pastureland. Circular rath (D c. 48m), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. McCaffrey (1952, 268, no. 22) noted an entrance gap at S. This is no longer evident as no visible surface trace of the inner bank survives from SE to S. The outer bank, which is overlain by a field wall, is visible from W through N to E.
