What is recorded here

Ardawarry holds a subcircular ringfort forty-five metres wide, buried in rolling grassland where a stream flows south. Its earthen bank, reinforced with stone, still rises at the north and west, though a later field wall has cut through the ancient boundary. The name suggests people once believed fairies lived there, but the shape and scale point to human hands building a defensible home. That much is clear from the earth itself.

In the base of a valley in rolling grassland, a stream flows to S. Subcircular ringfort (E-W c. 45m, N-S c. 25m), in fair condition, defined by an earthen stone-faced bank best preserved at NW and NNE; no visible surface trace survives at SW. A field wall cuts the monument at NE and NW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
