What is recorded here

No visible fort remains in Airgloony, but a vanished ring once stood on the river slope. That absence, rather than a grand ruin, is what makes the place memorable: the land kept the shape long enough for people to mark it, then took the form back.

On a gentle SW-facing slope overlooking the Clare River to SW. Marked on 1st. ed. of OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (D c. 30m). No visible surface trace survives. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
