What is recorded here

Kilgevrin holds a faint rectangular shadow on a Galway hill, beside an older ringfort. Earth, scarped stone and field banks still mark its edges, though rain and time have blurred the purpose. Perhaps people kept livestock, prayed, or simply drew a line around the land they loved. The enclosure no longer speaks loudly, but it still shapes the hill where human hands first tried to make the world orderly.

On the summit of a hillock, 80m SE of a ringfort (GA016-071----). Poorly preserved subrectangular enclosure (E-W 58m, N-S 30m) defined on E and S sides by an earthen bank, and by a scarp along N side. A field bank delimits W side. Possibly a landscape feature. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
