Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Magic and myth are not the same. The chamber is a visible chamber. It shows the exact shape of an invisible room. An unseen living system still uses the chamber. Human imagination can identify the chamber because it is built from memory. The camera records the chamber and the chamber is complete.
On SW-facing slope of a hill in grassland. Circular rath (D 20m), in fair condition, defined by a bank best preserved at N. A field wall overlies the enclosing element from N to ENE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
