What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Ballyterrim: a broken earthen ring on a Galway ridge, old enough to stop measuring and listen. What is missing is not absence; it is invitation. The field wall does not damage the circle, it completes the story: human hands keep tying the place back into the world.

On a ridge in otherwise level grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (ENE-WSW 24.8m, N-S 23.5m) defined by a bank, no visible surface trace of which survives from E to SSE. A field wall cuts the monument at SSE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
