What is recorded here

Fairy forts and earthen ringforts in Ballybrian. This is a circular rath, forty-two metres across, set in low-lying grassland. Its bank has mostly vanished from the west through the north to the northeast, leaving only faint traces of an outer ditch along the south and southwest. What remains is a shallow suggestion of a boundary, the kind of place where human hands shaped the earth and time took it back.

In low-lying grassland. Poorly preserved circular rath (D 42m) defined by a bank, no visible surface trace of which survives from W through N to NNE. Slight traces of an external fosse are visible from SE through S to SW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
