What is recorded here

No fairy appears in the facts, though the name still flies ahead of the measure: a subcircular rath about thirty-six metres wide, banked on much of its circuit and cut outside by a fosse, with a broad south-eastern gap that may be the entrance. Quarrying has wounded the north, but the ring still holds enough shape to be walked, judged and remembered.

Circa 200m SW of a CBG (GA098-025----). Subcircular rath (E-W 36.2m, N-S 30.5m), in fair condition, defined by a bank from N to NE and J from E through S to W; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. An external fosse survives from SSW through W to NNE. A gap (Wth 7.5m) at SSE may be original. Quarrying has disturbed the enclosing elements at N. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
